A modifier icon called an icon overlay indicates that an object is in a certain state or has special attributes. Put the cursor on an overlay to view a description of what the overlay means. The following table describes some of the overlay icons for metadata objects in the Job Editor window.

Icon Overlay	Description
	A vertical arrow pointing down in an icon for a transformation indicates that an implicit data transfer is taking place. An implicit data transfer can be inefficient when you have large amounts of data. You can add the Data Transfer transformation in these situations.
	A horizontal green triangle in the upper right corner of the icon for a transformation indicates that a checkpoint has been added to the transformation. Checkpoints are used to restart jobs.
	A rectangle in the upper right corner of the icon specifies the data format of the table, such as SAS or Teradata.
