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 — 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’s denoted by an icon next to the input:

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

Connections going into an unbounded input are numbered (1, 2, 3, 4…) near the connection point. You can change the ordering by dragging and dropping the links in the properties pane in the order you’d like.
