Control flow elements
Control flow elements control the flow of data through a workflow. They can be found in the Control Flow folder of the Add Elements wizard (figure 14.53).
Figure 14.53: Control flow elements are found under the Control Flow folder in the Add Elements wizard.
Elements are available for:
- Controlling how data is grouped for analysis. These include Iterate and Collect and Distribute, described in Iterate and Collect and Distribute elements.
- Controlling the flow of the workflow based on its configuration when launched. These include Fork, described in Fork, and Save On-the-Fly Imports, described in Saving data imported on-the-fly.
- Controlling the flow through the workflow based on aspects of the data. There are several such branching elements, described in Branching elements.
