Creating a Multi Group Output

We will start off by taking a look at an example Output. It has a single Output Channel attached to Demo Company 1 Sales Order Detail.

A single Ouput Channel in the Multi Group Output

Navigating back to the Output Settings page, notice in the below image that the Group and Output Template fields are both blank and the Output Name is hard coded to "Multi Group Output".

Blank Group and Template Names

An output with no Group is analogous to a Global Source — it can connect to any Source in the environment. When a Source using this output is cloned, a new Channel is added to the same output (not a new output). No Connection Template is needed since the output itself is not cloned.

Multi Group is the default behavior during cloning and requires no additional configuration. See the next section for Single Group Output setup.
