What mechanism does the Output Data Tool utilize for input?

The Output Data Tool in Alteryx is designed specifically to write or export data from a workflow to various file formats or database tables. It has a single anchor for input, which allows the user to direct one stream of data into the tool. This design supports the flow of data through the Alteryx workflow, signifying that at any given time, the tool can process data from only one connection. This approach simplifies the workflow by focusing on a single data stream, allowing users to easily manage and export their data to the desired format or location. The emphasis on having one anchor ensures clarity and consistency in how data is handled when reaching the output stage.
