This page provides details of the properties for the calculate open screen action node and associated expressions. These are part of actionflows.
Overview
Open screen nodes can be created with or without a screen attached. This is useful if the screen has not been created yet. Open screen nodes which do not have a screen attached appear with a warning symbol to remind users that this still needs to be configured.
Each open screen node has 1 primary input connection point by default called 'in'. Connecting to this connection point simply opens the screen and cannot pass any data to it. Do we still need this?
Once a screen has been attached to the open dashboard node an input connection point for each form on the screen is created. Each input connection point automatically has any data fields on the form (dynamic text or form fields) added as attributes. These attributes can be mapped to and supplied with data.
Each input connection point has the following properties:
- Type
This is always driving - Open Mode
update: opens form fields with the latest data (not clear, refresh)
insert: opens the screen with form fields empty (clear, not refresh)
change: opens form fields with data (not clear, not refresh) - Role
...
- Primary: Simply opens the dashboard regardless of data
Component: Opens the dashboard and can provide forms with data - Attributes
A list of attributes available on the input connection point. These directly link to the fields available on the form. Only component connection points have attributes.
To set the actionflow to close the active dashboard on completion, on the top right of the canvas, tick Close Parent Dashboard.
