Connections

When you select an input or transform item and add a transform or output item, connections are added automatically.

 

To select a connection

To select a connection either:

Click on the connection; or

Click and drag a box over any part of the connection. This may be easier than clicking the connection when you are zoomed back.

 

select-connection

 

To delete a connection

To delete a connection:

Select the connection.

Select Edit>Delete (or click the Delete tool bar button).

Note that deleting a connection may unset column related parameters downstream, so should generally be avoided where possible.

If you want to change an input file, do it by selecting the input and clicking on '...' in the Right pane, rather than disconnecting the input and connecting a new one.

If you want to add a new transform between 2 already connected items, you can do it without disconnecting (see below).

To add a transform between two already connected items:

Select the connection.

Choose the new transform from the Left pane or using the right click menu.
