List Inputs and Link Ordering

List Inputs

Some inputs in brew are considered "list" inputs. The special list type can be used in conjunction with any brew Common Vocabulary type. This means that you can attach any number of links within your workflow to these types of inputs. This provides immense flexibility and ease of use when combining similar data types for visualization or additional processing.

When an input accepts a list of the same Common Vocabulary type it will be denoted by an icon next to the input as shown below:

A common example is a list of strings (text). When a list input is present you can attach any number of strings to this list.

In the image above you'll notice that all of the connections going into the unbounded input have numbers (1,2,3,4) located near the connection. In some cases you'll find that you'd like to change the ordering of these connections.
You can change the ordering by dragging and dropping the links in the right pane in the order that you would like.
