Latest Record Merger¶

This stage generates group tags based on the specified expression. Multiple input points are grouped by the generated tags and output the points by groups. When the specified point arrives, an output will be triggered. The functions of this stage include:

Supporting the input of multiple points of multiple models, and multiple input points as calculation trigger points
Supporting the output of multiple points of multiple models. The modelId, modelIdPath, and pointId of the input point will be replaced with those of the output point.
