Conditional Branch Data Processing Workflow
This workflow implements the data processing functionality of conditional branching, capable of intelligently selecting the appropriate processing path based on dynamically generated data IDs. By manually triggering execution, the system classifies data with different IDs and assigns different name identifiers, ultimately aggregating or terminating the processing. This design can flexibly respond to diverse business logic, automating the classification and processing of various data, reducing manual intervention, and enhancing work efficiency. It is suitable for scenarios such as automated development and data analysis.
Workflow Name
Conditional Branch Data Processing Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow is manually triggered and utilizes a Function node to generate a set of data items each containing different IDs. It then employs a conditional branching mechanism (Switch node) to dynamically select the corresponding processing path based on the ID values. Each path assigns distinct name identifiers to the data, followed by a unified convergence or termination of processing. This design ensures flexible data flow branching under multiple conditions, supporting diversified business logic handling.
Core Problem Addressed
How to intelligently allocate processing flows based on various conditions when automating the handling of multiple categorized data types, achieving precise data classification and subsequent operation path selection, while minimizing manual intervention and reducing error rates.
Application Scenarios
- Automated classification and processing of multi-product or multi-category data
- Dynamic routing of business processes based on input parameters
- Automated tasks requiring different actions triggered by specific conditions
- Data preprocessing and label assignment scenarios
Main Process Steps
- Manual Trigger — Initiate the entire workflow via the “On clicking 'execute'” node.
- Data Generation — Use the “Function” node to dynamically create multiple data objects containing ID fields.
- Conditional Evaluation — The “Switch” node routes each data item according to its ID value.
- Assignment Processing — Based on the evaluation, the “Set”, “Set1”, and “Set2” nodes assign different name attributes accordingly.
- No Match Handling — If the ID does not match any condition, the “NoOp” node terminates the processing.
