The Row Generator stage is a development and debug stage. It has no input links, and a single output link. Consider using the column generator stage in conjunction with this stage to add extra columns to existing data sets: Column Generator stage.
The metadata you specify on the output link determines the columns you are generating.

When you double-click the Row Generator stage, the properties panel opens. The properties panel has two tabs:
