Output Elements

Units, on their own, do not affect the model unless those unit values are written back to the underlying table. This is where the Output element comes in.

Mapping Type

Choose a mapping type that will determine how unit result are written back to the underlying data table:

Type	Description
Expressions Only	The unit value is written back to the nodes returned as a result of an expression.
Unit's Input Node	The unit value is written back to the Input Node it was derived from.
Unit's Ouput Node	The unit value is written back to the Output Node specified.

Field Filter

Optionally, set a Field filter to restrict what is written back to the table to a subset of the fields in the table.

Processing Filter

Optionally, specify an expression to restrict what is returned as a result of processing. For example:

UnitSeam = Seam And UnitBench = Bench

Priority

Output Elements can be prioritised using using an increment/decrement control to adjust the Priority. The higher the number, the lower the priority (1 = High).

If there are multiple output elements that write back to the same fields, the data flow will choose the output element with the highest priority.

Description

Optionally, enter a description which summarises the output that is returned by the element.

Preview

When an Output element is selected, the Preview pane shows the output (unit results) generated as a result of processing.
