This page provides details of the properties for the phase node. These are part of actionflows.

Overview

Actionflows process data one record at a time. However, sometimes you may want to process all records up to one point, before moving on to the next process. For example, you may first want to check all the data before starting to process the first record. One way to do this is to have separate actionflows, so that all the data is processed by one actionflow, saved to a table and then the table is used at the start of the next actionflow. The other way is to use Image Added

Phase nodes act as an internal break in the actionflow. For example, you can have one phase in which records are read into the actionflow and checked one at a time. Once all records have been validated, the actionflow can then move to the next phase, where records are updated. Phase nodes are particularly useful if there the actionflow requires the user to make a choice as part of the actionflow.

They can be used in combination with  to split your actionflow into phases that process all records up to one point, before moving on to the next phase; see Using Actionflow Phases.

 nodes which contain Start Phase buttons. These buttons link directly to the outputs on the Open Screen node and can be connected to different phases. For example If the user chooses option 1, phase 1 can run. If the user chooses option 2, phase 2 can run instead. Especially useful if there is a requirement for user confirmation before processing.
