Common node properties

Last updated: Feb 12, 2025

A number of properties are common to all nodes in SPSS Modeler.

Table 1. Common node properties
Property name	Data type	Property description
`use_custom_name`	flag
`name`	string	Read-only property that reads the name (either auto or custom) for a node on the canvas.
`custom_name`	string	Specifies a custom name for the node.
`tooltip`	string
`annotation`	string
`keywords`	string	Structured slot that specifies a list of keywords associated with the object (for example, `["Keyword1" "Keyword2"]`).
`cache_enabled`	flag
`node_type`	`source_supernode` `process_supernode` `terminal_supernode` all node names as specified for scripting	Read-only property used to refer to a node by type. For example, instead of referring to a node only by name, such as `real_income`, you can also specify the type, such as `userinputnode` or `filternode`.

SuperNode-specific properties are discussed separately, as with all other nodes. See SuperNode properties for more information.
