This page

is for application designers who need to configure functionality for components or events. It explains the properties for the input and output connection points

. Connection points wire together inputs, nodes and outputs in an actionflow.

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.

Input Connection Points

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 Modified Permanently Delete. Todo-Fiona - check icon and label. What does this do? prevent them being passed through?

Insert excerpt
_audit _audit nopanel true

Output Connection Points 

Anchor
output output

Each output connection point has an expression that specifies the logic to control whether or not records flow to the next action node. 

For driving output connections, you can refer to an attribute in the expression using the syntax:

connectionpointname.attributename

If the expression evaluates to true for the record flowing through the node, it will pass through the connection point onto the next node in the sequence.
