Column Selection QuickForm (legacy)

This Node Is Deprecated — This node is kept for backwards-compatibility, but the usage in new workflows is no longer recommended. The documentation below might contain more information.

Takes a data table and returns a variable with the selected column name. The selection can also be controlled from a quickfrom (WebPortal).

Options

Label: A descriptive label that will be shown in, for instance the web port.
Description: Some lines of description that will be shown in the remote control form, for instance by means of a tooltip.
Weight: A weight value that influences the position of the component in the final layout. Lighter elements will be placed at the top, whereas heavier items will be placed nearer the bottom. The value is relative to the weights of the other components in the workflow (absolute value is not relevant, only the relative comparison to other elements).
Variable Name: Variable identifier.
Variable Value: Variable value containing the select column names.
Column Selection: Column Selection panel to select a single column from.

Input Ports

: A table to select a column from.

Output Ports
