This page provides details of the properties for the input and output connection points, which you use to wire together nodes in an actionflow.Todo-Fiona: There are also properties in Action Node Connections - same or different?

Overview

Use the input and output connection points on nodes in an actionflow to wire the nodes together.

1. From Inputs on left into the actionflow.
2. From one node to another.
3. From a final actionflow node to the Outputs on the right of the actionflow.

• For input connection points, map which attributes to pass into the node.
• For output connection points, specify an expression to determine ???  passed onto the next node.

Data Attributes

A list of attributes in other action nodes that you can map into this node. You can refer to these attributes in an expression using the syntax:

connectionpointname.attributename

Lookup Attributes are available when Type is Lookup. 

Double-click on an attribute in the list to display the properties related to this node and connection. This can include Name, Type, Component, Primary Key etc.

To add a new attribute, click

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:

• create a new attribute: click 

  Insert excerpt
  _add _add nopanel true

   and set its properties. Todo-Fiona - why would this be useful
• drag add an existing attribute to this list Todo-Fiona - is this possible??
• double-click one of the listed connections to open its properties.
• remove attributes, select one and click Image Added Permanently Delete. Todo-Fiona - check icon and label. What does this do? prevent them being passed through?

Basic Settings

Field	Description
Name	Enter a name for the output connection point
Order	Enter a number to indicate the order in which this expression will be run. Remember that an expression that generates a value must run before an expression that uses the value. Tip The order is very important for exclusive gateway nodes, as the records pass through the first output connection that meets the expression condition.
Expression	Enter an expression

which

that evaluates to true or false to

determine if stream-items will

specify whether or not records pass through this connection point. To work in a larger pop-up window, click

Insert excerpt _editor_expand _editor_expand nopanel true . See also: Expressions and PhixScripts. Expression Basics Internal Variables Functions

Records pass through the output connection point when the condition in the expression is met.

This section has a toolbar with standard buttons. The grid contains a list of output connection points and their expressions. 

To remove an output path, select one and in the section toolbar click Image Removed Permanently Delete. 

The expression properties has sections for Parent Details , Audit Summary and the following Basic Settings:
