Use a Button or Gate to Control the Flow of DataGating data is particularly useful when you don't want user actions in the current workflow step or interface to trigger all the subsequent processing steps in a dashboard. For example, if a user is typing in dozens of overrides in a table control, you won't want each entry to trigger a long processing cycle downstream. This example covers gating a single value or Entryset as well as gating up to 10 connections at the same time to synchronize downstream processing events. Buttons are used for a single gate, but for multiple gates you will need to use more sophisticated building concepts or VBA. The sample file illustrates how to use a button to create a single gate and demonstrates the concept of "passive" connections to create multiple gates without using VBA. The pre-built Component called "10-Input Gate for Any Inputs.proto" uses VBA to gate up to ten connections simultaneously.
