Bypassing Nodes in a Stream

When you bypass a node in the data stream, all of its input and output connections are replaced by connections that lead directly from its input nodes to its output nodes. If the node does not have both input and output connections, then all of its connections are deleted rather than rerouted.

For example, you might have a stream that derives a new field, filters fields, and then explores the results in a histogram and table. If you want to also view the same graph and table for data before fields are filtered, you can add either new Histogram and Table nodes to the stream, or you can bypass the Filter node. When you bypass the Filter node, the connections to the graph and table pass directly from the Derive node. The Filter node is disconnected from the stream.

To Bypass a Node

1. On the stream canvas, use the middle mouse button to double-click the node that you want to bypass. Alternatively, you can use Alt+double-click.

Note: You can undo this action clicking Undo on the Edit menu or by pressing Ctrl+Z.
