Edit block properties

Open the properties editor

The properties of a workflow block are all the characteristics of the block, configurable and not. They derive from the properties of the component that the block is a copy of, but are unique and specific to the block.

In the reference section of this manual you will find the description of the properties for model blocks, processor blocks and operator blocks.

To edit the properties of a block, inside the workflow editor:

  • Double-click the block on the canvas.

Or:

  • Right-click the block on the canvas and select Edit component on the context menu.

Or:

  • Select the block on the canvas, then select Edit component on the canvas toolbar.

The edit dialog is displayed.

Use the component guide

In the editor you have guides to some of the properties of the components from which the workflow blocks are derived.
To toggle the guides, select the question mark icon at the top right of the left panel.

When guides are turned on, if you hover over a component in the list, a pop-up panel containing the guide to the component is displayed.
The panel contains a description of the component and additional contents organized in tabs:

  • Input: lists the top-level keys of the JSON that the component's blocks expect as their input. This can help setting block's input properties.
  • Output: lists the top-level keys of the JSON that component's blocks produce as their output. This helps understanding the block's output properties.
  • Functional: lists the functional properties.
