Why Component doesn't have "Execute Button"

We created component and shared in the same location as workflow…

Now, when I open the component to make some changes and try to edit and execute… execute button is not showing… Anything I am missing.. not able to test this component, as execute button is missing..

Hello @exploredata547,

execute button can be grayed out (unavailable) on some nodes if preceding nodes are not executed.

This a component.. not a main workflow.. It’s greyed out from the first node onwards..

That means, to test the component.. we need to create a sample workflow with this component and then we need to test. right ?

Hi @exploredata547 , yes… to test a component you would place it on a test workflow that provides the necessary upstream data flows and this also then gives you access to the component’s config dialog.

That makes sense !!! Thank you !!

Hey,

There is also the possibility to include “input data” into this shared component. In the moment you share a component there is a checkbox in the advanced settings that lets you keep the currently attached input data. If you have checked this checkbox the “shared component“ will have input data and you can directly execute the nodes inside.

Greetings,

Daniel
