Data#
Data is the information that SMS-iT Workflow nodes receive and process. For basic usage of SMS-iT Workflow you don't need to understand data structures and manipulation. However, it becomes important if you want to:
- Create your own node
- Write custom expressions
- Use the Function or Function Item node
This section covers:
- Data structure
- Data flow within nodes
- Transforming data
- Process data using code
- Pinning and editing data during workflow development.
- Data mapping and Item linking: how data items link to each other.

Data transformation nodes#
SMS-iT Workflow provides a collection of nodes to transform data:
- Aggregate: take separate items, or portions of them, and group them together into individual items.
- Limit: remove items beyond a defined maximum number.
- Remove Duplicates: identify and delete items that are identical across all fields or a subset of fields.
- Sort: organize lists of in a desired ordering, or generate a random selection.
- Split Out: separate a single data item containing a list into multiple items.
- Summarize: aggregate items together, in a manner similar to Excel pivot tables.
