Logic Components: Input & Output Types

Overview

Unqork logic components let you input data from other components and output it to another. Components that let you perform these actions are the Decisions and Initializer components. Each component includes an Input and Output table to select other components in your module to retrieve or send information.

These tables also let you select the type of input and output process you want to run. For example, hiding a component based on a Boolean value of true or false. Below is an extensive list of all Input and Output Types available in Unqork’s logic components.

Input Types

The following Input Types are only available in the Decisions component:

Input Type Description

Contains

Used where the name contains a phrase. This Input Type works well on strings. An example is a button-click that carries dynamic prefixes or suffixes.

Exact

With this Input Type, your logic component watches for an exact value. Use this when you have a finite number of responses. Typical components used with this Input Type include Radio Buttons, Dropdowns, or a Text Field recording Social Security numbers.

Range

Used where the input includes a range of numeric values, like 1 to 15 or 3% to 40%. Typical examples include ages, coverage amounts, and so on.

Output Types

The following Output Types are available for Decisions and Initializer components, as well as the Data Workflow Output operator:

Output Type Description

Clear

Clears any values in the output component. Enter yes in the Value column.

ComponentReferenceKey

Lets you update any of the settings in an Advanced Datagrid component.

Content

Sets the value inside a Content and HTML Element component.

Currency

Sets the currency when the output is a Number component.

Sets the component as disabled and read-only. Or, it can activate a disabled and read-only component. Enter either yes (disabled and read-only) or no (active) in the Value column.

When using the Disabled Output Type in logic components, if the no value is given, it will default to "no".

For example, the same question can be worded differently depending on the state your end-user End-users, also known as Express Users, are the individuals accessing an application through Express View. In most cases, end-users are the customers using the product. is in. Use this feature to alter the phrasing depending on their state selection.

Maximum

Sets the highest value your end-user can enter into a field. If your end-user enters an amount that exceeds the maximum value, an error displays.

Message
