Configuring Input Nodes

​

Setting Input Sources

1. Click on an Input Data node to open its configuration panel
2. In the Include Paths section, add your data source paths:
   • All paths must start with /data/ prefix
   • Use wildcards (e.g., /data/*.tif) to include multiple files
   • Add paths one at a time
   • Double click an existing path to modify the text

​

Using Exclude Paths

1. In the Exclude Paths (Optional) section, specify files to exclude
2. This is useful when using wildcards - you can include a broad pattern and then exclude specific unwanted files
3. Example: Include /data/cwdz02/*.wd2 but exclude /data/cwdz02/000casdas.wd2

​

[Advanced] Drag and Drop from Files Panel

1. Open the Files panel on the left
2. Select multiple files from the data lake filesystem
3. Drag and drop them directly into the input node panel’s dropzone
4. This automatically adds all selected file paths that are valid for currently selected input data format

Setting Input and Output Formats

1. Click on a Format Conversion node
2. Configure the conversion parameters:
   • Input Type - Select the data type (Vector, Raster, etc.)
   • Input Format - Choose the source format (GeoJSON, KML, etc.)
   • Output Type - Select the target data type
   • Output Format - Choose the destination format (KMZ, Shapefile, etc.)
3. Check out NikaFlow page for latest supported input and output data type/formats

​

Configuring Output Nodes

​

Setting Output Destination

1. Click on an Output Data node
2. The Data Type and Format will automatically sync with the connected conversion node
3. Optionally set an Output Folder Path:
   • Must start with /data/ and end with /
   • If left empty, outputs will be saved in the same folder as each source file
