Not Equal

Overview

The Not Equal Filter Component checks whether a given input data is not equal to a specified value. If the condition is met, the message is passed through the notEquals port; otherwise, it is routed to equals.

Usage

This component is used to validate if a text, number, or date is different from a predefined value, making it useful for conditional processing in workflows.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
sourceData	string	The data to be compared. Can be a string, number, or date.
value	string	The value to compare against sourceData.

Input Ports

Port	Description
in	Accepts input data and the value to compare against.

Output Ports

Port	Description
notEquals	Emits the message if sourceData is not equal to value.
equals	Emits the message if sourceData is equal to value.

Processing Logic

1. Receives Input Data:

   • Accepts a dataset (sourceData) and a comparison value (value).

2. Checks for Non-Equality:

   • Performs a comparison (sourceData != value).

3. Routes the Message:

   • If sourceData is not equal to value, the message is passed to the notEquals port.

   • If sourceData is equal to value, it is passed to the equals port.

Output Data Schema

Property	Type	Description
sourceData	string	The original data that was checked.
value	string	The value compared against sourceData.
result	boolean	true if sourceData is not equal to value, otherwise false.

Notes

• Strict Comparison: Ensures only different values pass through.

• Supports Various Data Types: Works with text, numbers, and dates.

• Ideal for Conditional Filtering: Useful in workflows requiring validation that two values are not the same.

This component is essential for workflows that need to filter or route messages based on whether a value differs from a predefined value.
