Unlinked Tools

[SH_94]

Hi Community,

I had encountered one of the workflow and would like to ask how to make the workflow as below whereby i notice that not all the tools are linked if we place them under one container. 

May i know what is the best part if we use this method?

Hi @SH_94,

This is called wireless connections and you can read about them more in the article below written by @Adam-Ridley if I am not mistaken

In his article, he mentioned when he would suggest using this solution and I totally agree with him on those:

As mentioned above, they are wireless connections!

I will generally use these once I am done with a section of a workflow, to keep things cleaner. If you click on the tool, a lighter version of the connection will appear, allowing you to follow the connection path. If you right click on a tool, you can set the connections to be wired or wireless.  

If you click on any connection line, you can manually set it to be wireless as well. Pro tip, the name will allow you to add an annotation to the line as well!
