Overview

Use a

Output Attributes

Output attributes provide a means of adding parameters which can be used by the node e.g. Mapping in incoming attributescreating attributes, which can then be mapped to using the attributes from incoming paths. This is necessary as the converge node will only pass through attributes which are common to all paths, therefore the output attributes provide a means of converging attributes to a common name.

The grid contains a list of all Input Parameters Output Attributes and their data type.

Tip

The ifUnavailable function can be used in a Calculate Node to check that a record in an actionflow has a value mapped to an output attribute of a Converge Node.  

For example, if there are three paths being passed into a Converge Node, and one of the paths does not have an attribute mapped to an output attribute, trying to reference that output attribute later in the workflow will throw and error on a record where there was no attribute mapped. The ifUnavailable function can be used to capture and handle this scenario.
