Which Alteryx tool is used to create conditional branching in workflows?

The Filter Tool is specifically designed to create conditional branching within Alteryx workflows. This tool allows users to separate data into different streams based on specified criteria or conditions. When a workflow is executed, the Filter Tool evaluates the defined condition for each record in the input data. Records that meet the condition are directed to one output stream, while those that do not meet the condition are sent to another output stream. This functionality is essential for implementing logic in workflows, enabling users to process only relevant data based on their requirements.

The other tools mentioned do not serve the purpose of creating conditional branches. The Summarize Tool is used primarily for aggregating data, the Union Tool combines multiple datasets into one, and the Input Data Tool is utilized for bringing data into Alteryx from various sources. Each of these tools plays a distinct role in data manipulation and analysis, but none can create the type of conditional pathways that the Filter Tool facilitates.
