Question

Can I get some Workspace style tips?


This is part technical(possibly) but primarily visual.

I have a complex workspace where the same source tables are used for writing multiple output features.

To achieve this I've just been been running multiple connectors to from one reader to multiple writers.

The workspace is getting a bit hard to trace and present to others.

I just noticed I can have curved or straight connectors and there's a way to duplicate readers.

My question is what are the best ways to make your workspace neat?

It it common to duplicate readers and if so are they treated as a single entity when perfroming the translation?

Hi @andyew, you can hide connections if necessary. Right-click on a connection and select Hide or Create Tunnel etc. Junctions could also be used to arrange the layout of the objects.
