Interactive Execution of Nodes
When run interactively, the node runs immediately, and no other actions will be possible until the run completes.
Running a Node
Output and Export nodes are the only node types that can be run from within DataWORQ.
When a node is running, it processes in the background of DataWORQ, allowing the user to continue working.
To run a node, right-click on it, then select the Run option or the Ctrl + R hotkey combination.
Run a Node with email notifications
Node runs can be configured to notify users about success or failure. This feature must first be set up via Email Alerting.
To run a Node with email notifications, right-click on it, then select the Run & Notify option or use the Ctrl + Shift + S hotkey combination.
