Options to create an actionflow not available in 9.0

To create an actionflow:

• with a button as the input connection, in a screen, right-click on any button (anything else?) on a dashboard and select Add Actionflow.
• initially unconnected to a component, in the repository browser expand Actionflows and click 

  Insert excerpt
  _add _add nopanel true

  . You can wire the action to a button (or something else) - add relevant link.

Wiring Actions

Wire each node from the output to the input connection points

Mapping Connection Points

Input Connection (available data or user action) map onto the Connection Point in order to pass data to the Actionflow.

1. Drag the Input Connection's "Output Connector"  onto the required Connection Point.
2. The mapping window opens.
3. Drag the attributes from the Input Connection (Left) onto the Connection Point (Right)
   1. Ensure the type of data is the same i.e. we cannot map a text field onto a date field as they are not compatible.
4. Create Target Attributes (Optional): drag an attribute on the left to the white space on the right, this will automatically create an attribute of the same name and type.
5. Confirm the mapping. Now the "Output Connector" will be blue to indicate it has been mapped .
6. Repeat these steps for any additional mappings required.

Building an Actionflow Not sure if we just add the mapping into here?

Data flows through the Actionflow sequentially one stream-item at a time. When a lookup is performed the entire data set is read and processed. 

1. Connect Inputs to Input Connection Points
   1. Create new Input Connection Points
      
      1. Click 

         Insert excerpt
         _add _add nopanel true

      2. Provide a name for the connection point.
      3. Select driving or lookup. 
      4. Click Create Connection Point
      5. Select input
      6. Click Connect Input.
      7. Map attributes - see Mapping section below.
   2. Connect inputs to existing Input Connection Points
      
      
      
      1. Click Connect
      2. Select input
      3. Click Connect Input.
      4. Map attributes - see Mapping section below.
2. Add Action Nodes
   1. Click and hold on the desired Action Node, now drag this onto the canvas area.
      
      
   2. Click and hold on the Input Connection, when release a set of action nodes is displayed, select the desired option.
      1. This process also works from existing Action Nodes.
         
         
3.  Connecting
   1. From

      Insert excerpt
      _driving_interface_connection_point _driving_interface_connection_point nopanel true

      : Click and hold on the input Connection, move the mouse over the desired node and select the 

      Insert excerpt
      _driving_input_connection_point _driving_input_connection_point nopanel true

      .
      
      
      1. You will only be prompted to select an input connection if there is more than one input connection point e.g. a dashboard or the connection point is already connected.
   2. Action Nodes: Hover the mouse over the action node and select the correct 

      Insert excerpt
      _driving_output_connection_point _driving_output_connection_point nopanel true

       . Move the mouse over the desired action node and select the

      Insert excerpt
      _driving_input_connection_point _driving_input_connection_point nopanel true

      .
4. Mapping, once a connection is made a mapping screen will open automatically. As described above click and drag the attributes on the left to create a mapping:
   1. On to an attribute on the right.
   2. Into the blank space to create an attribute and mapping automatically. 
5. Configuring the nodes as described in the nodes section above.
6. Repeat the above steps to create you desired configuration.

Running an Actionflow

Actionflows run from being:

1. attached to an event such as a Button, a Double Click event on a grid item or any event attached to an item.  link to events
2. ran directly from the repository - cannot do this yet.
3. ran as an Action Task on a Task plan
