About Constant Nodes in Cognitive Analytics

A Constant node is a node that represents a specific value that you can use as an input in the cognition design. Constant nodes can be connected directly to an output field or to another Logic node.

The output of a Constant node is the value that you specify in the Value for Constant box on the node's Properties window.

Additionally, you can use the following functions in the Value for Constant box:

User(): Enters the user ID of the user executing the cognition as the Constant node's output value.
Now(): Enters the date and time of the start of the execution of the cognition as the Constant node's output value.

Tip: You can use a Constant node to name a cognition, which allows you to easily identify the cognition in query results and charts (e.g., on the overview page).
