Welcome to the Foundation Actionflow Module

Here's what you need to know before you start the module.

Resources

Data

All data used in this course is available in the Downloads section of the Learning Centre, should you require it.

Note: If you are using a training instance, this data has already been pre-loaded into the Actionflow Application.

Pre-Built Application

The pre-built application, Actionflow Application, can be found on your training instance. It contains an ERD with data and a number of screens that are referenced throughout the course. 

Before we dive into the course, let's first become familiar with the prebuilt ERD and screens we have provided for you. Do not delete any tables or screen components as this may cause the processes to fail.

1. Open the Course Management ERD and spend a few minutes studying the one-to-many relationships between the tables, and

    view the data. 
   1. Each dataset has its own table with a primary key
   2. Note the special relationship between the Students and Courses tables, where the Course Attendees table facilitates a many-to-many relationship
2. Open the Course Management Screen
   1. The Courses table is backing the School Courses grid
      1. There are a number of buttons under the grid that we will configure as part of this course
3. Open the Course Form Screen
   1. This is the form that we will later configure to add and edit courses in the School Courses grid 

Tips for the course

• Use the names we provide - When naming certain components, Actionflows, buttons, etc. we have provided the names to use. We recommend using these names to ensure that when these objects referenced later in the module, you will easily find the required object 
  • Likewise, avoid renaming the objects we have provided in the Actionflow Application
• Work through the chapters in order - The chapters have been carefully constructed to ensure they follow a logical order, build on the topics covered previously and level of difficulty. Any links on the page should be considered as further reading once the module is completed to ensure a full understanding of the topic

Troubleshooting

• If you go wrong at any point and alter your data in an unexpected way, you can roll back your test data to its original state - see Rolling Back Test Data
• Contact PhixFlow Support via the
