Display Box

Display and manage workflow outputs with flexible download and export options.

Updated over 6 months ago

Overview

The Display Box node serves as a versatile output component that allows you to view, download, and export your workflow results in multiple formats. It provides a clean interface for managing outputs with customizable display options and comprehensive file export capabilities.

Core Features

Output Display Area

The main display area shows your workflow results in a clean, readable format. This large content area will populate with your workflow's output once executed, providing immediate visibility into the results of your processing.

Save Output and Generate File Link

The "Save output and generate file link" toggle is a key feature that controls whether your output is automatically saved and made available as a downloadable file. When enabled (toggle switched on), this feature:

  • Automatically saves your workflow output

  • Generates a shareable file link

  • Makes the output available for download

  • Enables the Link section at the bottom of the node

When this toggle is disabled, the output is displayed only within the node interface without generating downloadable files or links.

Intake Options

The "Intake all" dropdown provides three filtering options for controlling what content is processed and displayed:

  • Intake all: Processes and displays all content from the workflow without any filtering

  • Only Intake 'code': Filters the output to show only code-related content, useful when you want to focus on code blocks or programming-related results

  • Only Intake 'tables': Filters the output to display only table data, ideal for workflows that generate structured data or reports

Display Dimensions

Two numerical fields (showing 800 and 600 in the screenshots) allow you to control the display dimensions of the output area, ensuring optimal viewing for different types of content.

Download and Export Options

Download Button

The blue "Download" button provides immediate access to download your workflow output in the currently selected format.

Save As Options

The "Save as .txt" dropdown offers extensive export format options:

  • .txt - Plain text format

  • .html - HTML web page format

  • .json - JSON data format

  • .csv - Comma-separated values for spreadsheet applications

  • .xml - XML structured data format

  • .yaml - YAML configuration format

  • .pdf - PDF document format

  • .docx - Microsoft Word document format

  • .png - PNG image format

  • .jpg - JPEG image format

  • .webp - WebP image format

This variety of export formats ensures compatibility with virtually any downstream application or workflow requirement.

Link Generation

Link Section

When the "Save output and generate file link" toggle is enabled, a Link section appears at the bottom of the node. This section:

  • Displays "No Link generated" initially

  • Shows a shareable URL once the workflow is executed and the output is processed

  • Provides a copyable link that can be shared with others or used in other applications

  • Includes a copy icon for easy link copying

Best Practices

  • Enable the "Save output and generate file link" toggle when you need to share results or integrate with other systems

  • Use the appropriate "Intake" filter to focus on specific types of content in your output

  • Select the most suitable export format based on how you plan to use the output

  • Consider the display dimensions based on your content type and viewing preferences

The Display Box node provides a comprehensive solution for output management, combining immediate visual feedback with flexible export capabilities to meet diverse workflow requirements.
