Organizations and data

Pin data while you build

After you pin a step’s output, later debugging uses that copy instead of waiting for earlier nodes to run again. Pinning applies in the editor only. Production runs do not use pinned data.

Pinned data applies only in the editor

Pinning keeps an output this step already produced. While you edit later nodes, this step does not call out again. It hands over the pinned copy. Use it when the previous step is a paid API, a slow query, or something you do not want to fire on every test.

The pin is used only when you run manually in the editor. A schedule or a webhook uses the real output from that run. It does not read what you pinned on the canvas.

Pin a node output

  1. Execute the node so the output panel has data.
  2. In the output panel, select Pin data.
  3. The node shows that data is pinned. Later nodes, when you execute them, read this copy.
  4. To remove it, select Unpin on that same notice.

Outputs you cannot pin

  • A step with more than one main output cannot be pinned. Only a single main output can.
  • An output that includes binary files cannot be pinned. The file is not stored in the pin.
  • An execution whose data is hidden, and cannot be revealed, cannot be pinned back into the editor.

Paste a copy from an older execution

Open a past execution, copy the output JSON, return to the node’s JSON view, select Edit, paste, and Save. Saving also pins that data. Editing data that is already pinned is covered in Edit the data in a node output.

Questions

When does pinned data apply in Duaer?

Pinned data in Duaer applies only when you run manually in the editor. A schedule or webhook uses the real output from that run and does not read the copy pinned on the canvas. Pinned data cannot include binary files, and a node with more than one main output cannot be pinned.

How do you pin a node output in Duaer?

In Duaer, execute the node so the output panel has data, then select Pin data. Select Unpin on that notice to remove it. Pasting JSON from an older execution into the JSON view and selecting Save also pins that data.

Data

Edit the data in a node output

You can change a node output in the JSON view. After you save, the edited data is pinned on the node, and later steps in the editor read that version.

Data

How data is shaped between nodes

In Duaer, what one node hands to the next node is a list of items. On each item, ordinary fields live in json and files live in binary. Later nodes walk the items one by one.

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.
