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.
