Snap Views
Type | Format | Number of Views | Examples of Upstream and Downstream Snaps | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Input | Document |
| JSON Generator | This Snap allows exactly one input view. |
Output | Document |
| JSON Formatter | This Snap has at most one output view. If an output view is available, then the original document that was used to create the statement will be output with the status of the delete executed. The Snap will output one document for each execution of the Snap with data about the number of documents deleted, hence any document processing Snap can be used downstream. |
Error | Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:
