Worked Example

Here's a worked example using the School Data (available from the Learning Centre).

In this example, we are using:

• A Home screen containing text and an image - this screen was created using the Landing Screen 1 template

We want to configure a message on the Home screen to display the user's full name when they open the application.

Configure the Startup Action

1. Open the Startup Actions for the application by clicking on the 

   Insert excerpt
   _home _home nopanel true

    button in the header bar
2. Select 

   Insert excerpt
   _startup _startup nopanel true

    to see the current active Startup Actions
3. Double-click Default Menu to open the Startup Action 

   Insert excerpt
   _property_settings _property_settings nopanel true

4. Click on the Actionflow link to open the Actionflow
5. On the Actionflow canvas are the two screens that open when the application starts
6. Click on the message 

   Insert excerpt
   _action_calculate _action_calculate nopanel true

    action to open its 

   Insert excerpt
   _property_settings _property_settings nopanel true

7. Double-click on the Output Attribute, pfMessage, to open its 

   Insert excerpt
   _property_settings _property_settings nopanel true

    and make the following changes to the Expression:

   1. 
      

      Code Block
      theme Emacs
      _user.firstName + " " + _user.lastName

      
      

      Expand
      title Checkpoint
