Why set Minimum and Maximum Records?
On an Actionflow's
connection point(s), a minimum and maximum number of records that should be received by the Actionflow receives before it runs can be defined. If the number of received records received is are not within the set minimum/maximum threshold, the Actionflow will not run. This can be useful for : Insert excerpt _input _input nopanel true
ensuring at least one record is selected before proceeding with an edit.

Worked Example
Here's a worked example using the Shop the Retail Data (available from the Learning Centre).
In this example, we are using:
- A Shop Staff screen containing a grid of the Shop Staff data - this screen was created using the Tile with Buttons template

If you are completing this chapter as part of the Actionflow course and using a training instance, the data and screens have already been pre-loaded into the Actionflow Intermediate Application. For this example, we'll be working on the grid on the Shop Staff screen. |

This process can be further enhanced using a pop up screen with a custom message. Within the Actionflow Intermediate Application there is a Error Popup screen that can be configured for this purpose. See 1.11 Calculate Action Configuration for an example of how to map a message onto a dynamic text component. |
