Feature Overview
"Input node" is a generic term used to refer to a data connection added (or about to be added) to a job. It appears as an "add" option when right-clicking on any table in the Connections section or under the node menu. When used, the selected table will be added to the current job.
Double-clicking on an Input node allows the user to review the data structure (column names and data types) of the connection. Check boxes are also available; these boxes select or deselect specific columns from appearing in the node's output. Changes made to the data source structure since the last time the window was opened will be represented - removals will appear in red, new entries in blue. Saving and closing the window will incorporate the changes into the data.
Refreshing an Input Node
When changes are made to a data file outside of Construct and that file is actively being used in a job workflow, the changes may not always be reflected in the Input node immediately. Selecting the Resynchronize to Connection button in the bottom right of the Input interface allows the node to re-evaluate the source’s schema and update any changes.
