# Split Out

Use the Split Out node to separate a single data item containing a list into multiple items. For example, a list of customers, and you want to split them so that you have an item for each customer.

## Node parameters

* **Field to Split Out**: the field containing the list you want to separate out into individual items.
  * If working with binary data inputs, use `$binary` in an expression to set the field to split out.
* **Include**: select if you want Mosaic Workflows to keep any other fields from the input data with each new individual item. You can select:
  * **No Other Fields**
  * **All Other Fields**
  * **Selected Other Fields**: when selected, Mosaic Workflows displays **Fields to Include**. Enter a comma separated list of desired fields.
* **Options** > **Add Field**: use this to add more optional settings, including:
  * **Disable Dot Notation**: when disabled, you can't reference child fields (in the format `parent.child`).
  * **Destination Field Name**: optionally set the field name under which to put the new split contents.
  * **Include Binary**: include binary data from the input in the new output.
