Map files from source modules to target modules
Modules can process files require two pieces of information:
- File name
- File content (data)
If any previous modules output a file, you can select the source module, and the name and data of the file output by that module are mapped to the target module.
You can also enter this name and data manually, or map it from previous modules. This may be convenient when, for exameple, renaming a file.
