The Display block

The Display block was previously named Output. A different Output block is available.

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

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

Input

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

Output

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

Setup

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

The Display block automatically detects 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 Display block, then selecting Additional Settings > Text size.
