The CSV Write Row allows for writing of data to Comma Separated Value (CSV) files. CSV files are text documents, resembling the format of a spreadsheet, where columns of data values are typically separated by a comma delimiter.

**Input Parameters**

- Parent Folder: The path/folder location, relative to the mount point of the connector, where the file will be created
- File Name: The filename to be used when writing the CSV (i.e. output.csv)
- Quote Values: If selected, all values written to the CSV will be wrapped in quotes. This allows commas to be safely used within the data elements.
- Custom Values: These are the 'columns' that will be used in the output CSV
  - Click on the pencil icon in the top right to edit the definition of custom Values (columns)
  - Drag a 'Column Value' step from the Available Parameters to the middle section called 'Defined Parameters'
  - Parameter Definition:
    - Name: This will determine which value is used for the column header
    - Data Type: String (CSV files are plain text files)
