| Connection | Yes      | Connection to the Any2Info platform where the Dataclip is stored.                                                                                                             |
| Collection | Yes      | The collection the Dataclip belongs to.                                                                                                                                       |
| Dataclip   | Yes      | The Dataclip to export data to. A new Dataclip can be created directly from this property.                                                                                    |

| Advanced   | No       | Allows configuration of the mapping between the incoming dataset and the headers of the Dataclip.                                                                             |
| Wait       | No       | Determines whether the dataflow should wait until the export is fully processed on the server. If disabled, the flow continues as soon as the data is received by the server. |

### Action types

#### Replace

Replaces the **entire contents** of the Dataclip.

* All existing records are removed
* Incoming data is fully reinserted

***

#### Insert

Inserts new records into the Dataclip.

* Records with an existing key are **ignored**
* Only new records are added

***

#### Update

Updates existing records in the Dataclip.

* Only records with a matching key are updated
* Records without a matching key are ignored

***

#### Insert or Update

Inserts new records or updates existing ones (upsert).

* If the key exists → record is updated
* If the key does not exist → record is inserted

***

#### Delete

Deletes records from the Dataclip.

* Records matching the incoming keys are removed
* Only the unique header column needs to be mapped

***

#### Except

Removes all records **except** those present in the incoming dataset.

* Records whose keys appear in the incoming data are removed
* Inverse behavior of **Delete**

### Input / Output

| Direction | Type            | Description                                              |
| --------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Input     | Dataset / Table | The dataset that will be exported to the Dataclip.       |
| Output    | Dataset / Table | The same dataset as the input, passed through unchanged. |

***

### Usage

Use the **Export to Dataclip** node when data from a dataflow needs to be stored in a Dataclip for use in dashboards, forms, or for monitoring purposes.

Typical use cases include:

* Displaying data on dashboards
* Providing selectable or prefilled data in forms
* Logging or tracing dataflow execution
* Inspecting intermediate or final dataflow results

***

### Tips & Best Practices

* Disable **Wait** when using Dataclips for logging or tracing to prevent unnecessary delays in the dataflow.
* Enable **Wait** when it is important that the data is fully processed before continuing the flow.
* Use the **Advanced** mapping to explicitly control how dataset columns map to Dataclip headers.
