Example

TBC

By default, Autosave Attributes is enabled, this saves any attributes on the driving input form that link to the table on the save node. Specific attributes can be overridden manually by specifying the attributes, or if Autosave Attributes is not enabled the Save node will only save attributes which are mapped to it and ignore any that have not been included.

A Save node must be attached to a table with a Type of Transactional.

For a worked example, see Save Action Configuration.

Allocating Primary Key Values to New Records

When the save

action

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.
