Using Junctions
Junctions are a useful tool for managing connections as you build and organize a workspace. For example, you have several Creator transformers that you want to join before you proceed with building the rest of the workspace. You can create a Junction in the workspace that brings them together.
Junctions are also useful as a starting point when Running and Inspecting Part of a Workspace.
To insert a Junction using quick add, start typing 'Junction' on a blank spot on the canvas, and select 'Junction' when it appears. Junctions look like this when you add them:
Connect the elements of your workspace to the Junction as you would normally.
Inserting Junctions
You can insert a Junction in a specific place in a workspace. Right-click on any input port, output port, or connector, and select Insert Junction.
Disabling Connections Using Junctions
You can disable a Junction, which disables connections that directly follow it. Right-click on a Junction and select Disable. The connection turns a light gray color. To enable it, right-click and select Enable.
Searching Junctions
If you have a large workspace and need to locate your Junctions, search for "junction" using Workspace Search.
