The Record block

The Record block creates structured key-value data from data it gets from embedded data blocks. The Record block is useful for organizing and managing data in your flow, enabling you to combine multiple pieces of data into a single, structured record.

Input

When you create a Record block, it has no input port by default. But if you embed a Select block in the Record block, an input port appears next to the Select block. You can then connect another block's output port to it, so the Select block can specify which data to extract.

Output

The output port sends a structured data set defined by the Record block's keys and their corresponding values.

Setup

Select the Add data blocks icon to embed a block in the Record block. Enter or select a value in the embedded block, then select key and enter a name for the key.
