Select the checkbox to specify an action that the Snap must take if the input view contains empty documents. If selected, the Snap does not write anything to the output if no documents are received in the input. Else, the Snap writes an empty array in the output view if no documents are received in the input view. 

Dropdown list

Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:

• Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

• Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

• Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
