The Output block

Output block

The Output block accepts data from other blocks and displays it in a variety of formats, including text, numbers, charts, and more. It will automatically detect the incoming data's format, or you can select a format from the dropdown list.

The Output block has an output port, so you can send the data to another block. The Output block doesn't transform the data when it visualizes it, and the data remains in its original format when it's passed through. The Output block is useful in many situations, including troubleshooting your Flow, analyzing different blocks' output, and visualizing data in dashboards.

Input

The Output block has a single input port that accepts data from any other block.

Output

The Output block's output port sends the data it receives without altering it.

Setup

Connect a block's output port to the Output block's input port. You can optionally connect the Output block's output port to another block's input port to send the same data it received.

The Output block will automatically detect the incoming data's format, or you can select a format from the dropdown list. If the format is Text, you can adjust the text size by selecting the Output block, then selecting Additional Settings Settings icon > Text size.
