Organizations and data

Connect nodes

A connection decides where a result goes. Drag from the previous node’s output dot to the next node’s input, and that step’s data is handed on.

Connect two nodes

  1. Hover the output dot on the right of a node.
  2. Drag it to the input on the left of the next node and release.
  3. Once the line is there, the previous output is the next input.

One output can feed several later nodes. Each of them receives that same output and continues on its own.

Delete a connection between nodes

Hover the line. Delete appears on it. After you remove the line, later nodes no longer receive that step’s data. The nodes stay. Only the connection is gone.

More than one output

Some nodes have more than one output. A condition usually splits into a true path and a false path, and each path is its own line. Only the items that take a path travel down that line.

Connecting both paths to the same later node does not merge them for you. Use a node that is meant to merge, and decide how the two incoming sets of items line up.

Questions

What does a connection between Duaer nodes do?

In Duaer, a connection joins one node’s output to the next node’s input. Without that line, the next node does not receive the previous node’s data. One output can connect to several later nodes, and each of them receives that same output.

How does data travel when a Duaer node has more than one output?

In Duaer, each output is its own line. A condition usually splits into a true path and a false path, and only the items that take a path travel down that line. Connecting both paths to the same later node does not merge them.

Canvas

Work with nodes on the canvas

A node is one step on a Duaer digital-organization canvas. A trigger node starts the run. Later nodes take the previous node’s result and hand their own result to the next node.

Data

How items stay linked through a run

Each output item remembers which input item it came from. .item in an expression follows that link backward. A one-to-one list, a one-to-many list, or a reorder can be linked automatically.

Structure

Turn a stretch of nodes into a sub-organization

Nodes that form one continuous stretch, with a single way in and a single way out, can become their own sub-organization. The original spot is replaced by the step that calls it.
