Output TOP node

Subnet output

Since

17.5

This node is used to indicate what should be reported on a given subnet output, in the case that a subnet has multiple output connections.

Parameters ¶

Output Index

The subnet output index that this node corresponds to.

Work Item Label

Determines how the node should label its work items. This parameter allows you to assign non-unique label strings to your work items which are then used to identify the work items in the attribute panel, task bar, and scheduler job names.

Use Default Label

The work items in this node will use the default label from the TOP network, or have no label if the default is unset.

Inherit From Upstream Item

The work items inherit their labels from their parent work items.

Custom Expression

The work item label is set to the Label Expression custom expression which is evaluated for each item.

Node Defines Label

The work item label is defined in the node’s internal logic.
