The Output block

This Output block is different from the previous version of the Output block, which became the Display block.

The Output block sends the result from one flow to a Flow Module block in a different flow. The Flow Module block then sends the result from its output port.

Inputs and outputs

The Output block's inputs are referred to as outputs because they define the data that will be sent to a Flow Module block in a different flow. Each output can receive data through its corresponding input port. The Output block itself has no output ports. When a Flow Module block references the Output block's flow, it sends the Output block's data as key-value pairs in a JSON object through its own output port.

• If the Output block has no outputs, the Flow Module block that references it will have no output port.

• If the Output block has one or more outputs, the Flow Module block that references it will have one output port. The output port will send one JSON object for each output in the Output block.

Setup

When you add an Output block to your flow, it has one input port and no outputs. A flow can have no more than one Output block.

To add an output to an Output block, do the following:

1. Select Add output. A new output named Output <number> appears.

2. Connect another block's output port to the Output block's input port. The icon next to the output changes to indicate the connected block's data type. The incoming data becomes the value in a key-value pair where the output's name is the key.

3. (Optional) Select the output's name to edit it.

4. (Optional) If the incoming data has more than one item, select Enter path... to specify which item to assign to the output.
