In the actionflow instance illustrated in the screenshot above, an application has a Company Edit Form. When the application user makes a change, to the form clicks Auto Save Attributes on the form, the actionflow runs.

1. The calculate node sets the following attributes: 
   • Status to 'Pending Approval'
   • StatusUpdate to the current time
   • StatusUpdatedBy to the user's name.
2. The save node saves any attributes on the driving input form that link to the table on the save node. 
   This means if any additional fields are added to the backing table and input form they do not need to be mapped to the save node.

Allocating Primary Key Values to New Records

When the save node is inserting a new record to the table, PhixFlow allocates a unique primary key value to the record. How PhixFlow allocates a value is determined by the Table properties → Advanced → Primary Key Generator.

• Internal: By default, PhixFlow automatically allocates a unique, numeric value to the primary key attribute.
• Sequence: Configure PhixFlow to allocate a value from your own sequence using the Primary Key Generator Sequence option. see Stream > Data Generation Options and Sequence.
