# NuData Update node

The NuData Update node submits the collected behavioral data and the final placement outcome to the NuData risk-assessment service.

## Example

The following example shows how to use the NuData Update node to report the final placement outcome to NuData before the journey completes:

![Journey using the NuData nodes](nudata-nodes-journey.png)

* The [NuData Score node](nudata-score.html) returns the risk level for the sign-on attempt.

  * A `Green` score outcome routes the journey directly to the NuData Update node.

  * A `Red` score outcome routes through the [NuData Trigger MFA node](nudata-trigger-mfa.html), and its `Next` outcome routes to the NuData Update node.

  * A `Yellow` score outcome routes through the [NuData Captcha node](nudata-captcha.html), and its `Next` outcome routes to the NuData Update node.

* The NuData Update node submits the final placement and verification outcomes to NuData.

  * A `Next` outcome routes to the [Success node](../success.html).

  * An `Error` outcome routes to the [Failure node](../failure.html).

## Inputs

This node reads the following from the shared state:

* `nuDataWidgetData`: the behavioral data collected by the [NuData Initialize node](nudata-initialize.html).

## Dependencies

The node requires a NuData account with API credentials.

The Client Name and Client Key properties come from that account.

## Configuration

| Property              | Usage                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

| Client Name           | The client name that NuData issued for your account.The node sends it with the update request to authenticate against the NuData API.                                                                                   |
| Version               | The version of the NuData SDK that collected the behavioral data.                                                                                                                                                       |
| Client Key            | The client key that NuData issued for your account.The node uses it to authenticate the update request against the NuData API.                                                                                          |
| Placement Name        | The name that identifies the specific widget placement in your NuData account.                                                                                                                                          |
| Placement Type        | The category of journey in which the behavioral data was collected.Select one of `Login`, `Forgot Username`, `Reset Password`, or `Change Password`.                                                                    |
| Page Placement Number | The number that identifies the page on which the widget collected behavioral data, when a journey spans multiple pages.                                                                                                 |
| Placement Outcome     | The outcome of the journey branch that contains the widget placement.The node reports this value to NuData as the result of the placement.                                                                              |
