Note

The data will behave differently depending on how it is connected to the rest of the actionflow.

  • If the view node is connected via a driving connection, records are returned individually to the connected node and flow one by one through the remainder of the actionflow.
  • If the view node is connected via a request connection, the records are returned as an array within one recordset.
  • data attribute: the attribute in the view from which you want to look-up data. For example, the view may have the attribute staff_number that you require.
  • request attribute: the data returned by the look-up. This maps to an input on the destination point.
