node to control the path that data records take as they flow through an actionflow. You can add several output connection points. On the output connection points, you can specify decision logic to control the path of data, record by record.

Example

Sometimes there is a threshold in your data that affects the way you want to process it. For example you might want someone to approve orders over £1000, whereas orders below this value can be placed without approval.

In the screenshot an application screen

lists the orders pending approval.

Image Modified

The actionflow for this requires a gateway node to capture orders with a value of £1000 or more so that it can send these to the person authorised to approve them. todo-sarah Provide screenshot and more details once confirmation and phases have been implemented

see Output Connection Points

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:

Code Block
connectionpointname.attributename

If the expression evaluates to true for the record flowing through the node, it will pass out that connection point onto the next node in the sequence. This can be dependent on if the gateway is marked as exclusive, see below.

Gateways can have an unlimited number of output paths.Output paths process data using expressions; see pages in the topic Expressions and PhixScripts.addadd Insert excerpt_description_descriptionnopaneltrue Insert excerpt_property_tabs_property_tabsnameaccess-hnopaneltrue Insert excerpt_access_accessnopaneltrue Insert excerpt_audit_auditnopaneltrue to open a new output path and set the expression.

Remember that an expression that generates a value should run before an expression that uses the value. The order is especially important if the gateway is marked as exclusive.Expression

Enter an expression which evaluates to true or false to determine if stream-items will pass through this connection point. To work in a larger pop-up window, click Image Removed.
