Stream Item Action Rules

This property has a toolbar with standard buttons. The grid contains a list of rules that determine whether or not a stream item action runs. 

To edit the properties of a context parameter, double-click its name. To add a stream item action to the list, click   Insert excerpt_add_addnopaneltrue. PhixFlow opens the Context Parameter properties tab.To remove a context parameter from the action, select it and click  Insert excerpt_delete_deletenopaneltrue in the toolbar.

A stream item action is the CRUD action that can operate on a data record. The rules listed here determine whether or not a stream item action runs.

When the action runs, PhixFlow uses this list of rules to determine which of the listed Stream Item Actions will run.

Double-click a rule to open its properties and specify rule details and attributes: see Stream Item Action Rule. This grid displays:

  • Order: The order in which the rules are evaluated.
  • Stream: The backing stream.
  • Name: The rule name.
  • Expression: If this expression evaluates to true, this action will be run. A blank (null) expression counts as true.

When the action runs, PhixFlow evaluates the action rules in order. For each action rule that evaluates to true, PhixFlow will run that action. 

Note

The action type of the first action rule is overwritten if the button that initiates the action has both an Action Type and an Action; see Layout.

When you set action completion, you can set which dashboard to open after the action has run.

Action → Action Completion section:

  • Open Post Dashboard
  • Dashboard Rules available if Open Post Dashboard

A list of dashboards that can be opened after this action, for each one a rule to determine whether this is the dashboard that will be opened.

The first dashboard whose expression evaluates to true will be opened. Only this dashboard will be opened. If none of the expressions evaluates to true, no dashboard will be opened.

For each dashboard rule define the following fields:

  • Order: The order in which the rules are evaluated.
  • Dashboard: The dashboard that will be opened if the accompanying expression evaluates to true.
  • Expression: If this expression evaluates to true, this dashboard will be opened once the action has completed. A blank (null) expression counts as true.
