How do I configure node settings?#

Node settings allow you to configure node input and output and add notes to describe the purpose of the node.

Before you begin#

There are four toggles for input/output nodes:

Toggle	Description	Additional information
Always Output Data	Data is always output from the node even when none is returned during execution	May cause infinite loop when used on `IF` operator nodes
Execute Once	Node execute once with data from the first item received.	No further execution is performed, even when additional items are received
Retry On Fail	Repeat execution until it successfully completes	Pathway execution pauses while this takes place
Continue On Fail	Node passes input data from previous nodes even if its execution fails	Pathway must be designed to handle unexpected data

You can document your pathway using node notes:

Notes: note to save with the node.
Display note in flow: if active, Ensemble displays the note in the pathway as a subtitle.
