Data → Mark Data as Exported

Overview

This node operation marks data associated with a specific task as exported in the Octoparse system. It is useful in workflows where you want to update the status of data after processing or exporting it, ensuring that the same data is not processed multiple times. For example, after extracting and exporting data from a web scraping task, you can use this operation to mark that data as exported to keep track of processed records.

Use Case Examples

  1. Mark data as exported for a given task to prevent reprocessing in subsequent workflow runs.
  2. Use after data extraction and export to update the data status in Octoparse.
