In an actionflow, individual actions have connection points to receive data from the previous action.

For most action nodes, data flow is configured when you map attributes to the input connection points. For Gateway nodes, you can also control the data flow by mapping to output conenction points. This is because the expressions in a gateway provide the logic for which path the data flows, and different paths may require different data to pass through the gateway.

Overview

Everything in an actionflow is connected using connection points. They are blue when connected and grey when not connected. There are two types of connections:

•  Driving connection and
•  Lookup connection

For information about the concepts related to wiring actionflows together using connection points, see Wiring Actionflows.

Data Attributes

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

The data attribute properties has sections for Parent Details , Audit Summary and the following Basic Settings
