Overview
When you are designing screens, you use a view to select and filter data for display. In an actionflow, the originating screen or component may not include all of the data that the actionflow requires. In this case, use a Insert excerpt |

| node to select and filter additional data to use in the actionflow.How the actionflow processes the view data depends on whether the view is wired via a driving or lookup connection. - For a driving connection, records are returned individually to the view node and flow one by one through the remainder of the actionflow.
- For a lookup connection, the records are returned as an array within one recordset.
- For a worked example and video explanation, see Lookup Configuration
- Lookup views require both:
- Data Attributes: the attributes being passed into the view node.
- Request Attributes: the attributes from which you need to lookup data.

When you create a view node, PhixFlow prompts you to select the table on which this view is based. PhixFlow opens the Attributes window and the view node properties. Drag attributes from the Attributes window and onto the Data Attributes or Request Attributes sections. You can add attributes from the base table and from related tables.. Insert excerpt |
