In an actionflow, individual actions have connection points to receive data from the previous action.

Data Attributes
This section has a toolbar with standard buttons. The grid contains a list of the attributes that will pass through the input wire to this action. PhixFlow automatically lists the attributes that pass into the action when the actionflow is wired to an input with attributes. You can also:
