# Data

> The nodes of the Data category, such as Filter, Map, and Transform, and the Data Fabric nodes, with a link to the page of each one.

The **Data** category of the **Add node** panel holds the nodes that reshape data from earlier nodes, and the nodes that read and write records in Data Fabric.

![The Data category: Batch transform, Filter, Group by, Map, and Transform, then, under Data Fabric, Query entity records, Update entity record, Create entity record, and Delete entity record.](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/maestro-automate/add-node-data-automate-b2eac54c.webp)

- [Batch transform](batch-transform.md): applies the same instruction to each row of a file.
- [Filter](node-filter.md), [Group by](node-group-by.md), and [Map](node-map.md): one operation on a list each.
- [Transform](node-transform.md): chains several operations on a list in one node, including your own JavaScript.
- **Data Fabric**: [Query entity records](node-query-entity-records.md), [Update entity record](node-update-entity-record.md), [Create entity record](node-create-entity-record.md), and [Delete entity record](node-delete-entity-record.md). [Data Fabric entity nodes](data-fabric-entity-nodes.md) describes them together.

## Next steps

- [Variables and data flow](variables-and-data-flow.md): how nodes read the output of earlier nodes.
- [Node reference](node-reference.md): all the categories of the **Add node** panel.
- [Community](community.md): ask questions and share workflows with other builders on the UiPath Forum.
