A Data Connection is used when mapping the flow of your data in your Data Diagram.  A connection is noted by a line between two Data Connectors.  A data connection represents the flow of data from one Diagram Object to another.

Figure 1: Data Connections show as lines connecting input and output data connectors.  

 

In Figure 1, there are four present Data Connections.  Each is highlighted below as an example.

 

A data connection maps data from the blue output data set connector to the blue input data set connector in the Filter function.
A data connection maps data from the blue output data connector in the filter function to the XML data source repeating sequence.
A data connection maps the LastName field output data connection to the input string data connector in the IsNotEmpty function.
A data connection maps the result output data connector in the IsNotEmpty function to the input filter-rule data connector in the Filter function.
