Inbound

No Data = On Click/On Enter
Data = Datasource

Outbound

Lookups

~~Connection Point Types~~

~~Driving (one record)~~
~~Lookup (many records as a single dataset)~~

Driving vs Lookup connections

Driving connections (records are pushed one by one)
Lookup connections (all records are pulled as a single block but only when the connection is referenced in an expression inside the node)

Nodes types

Actionflow
Open screen
View
Calculate
Gateway - map to output connection points
Open URL
Save
Analysis
HTTP
Email
JSON
For Each
Loop
Funnel
Start Phase

Phases

Tool bar options

Show Event Location
Close Screen
Hide Spinner
Origins
etc.

Instances/Reusability

Concepts
Locating Instances
Opening Instances
Actionflows vs instances
Nesting actionflows

Event handlers

On click
On change
On blur
On enter
Double-click (This is when the actionflow is set as the default action on a view)
Default Action for auto save on a view.

Wiring

Mapping attributes In and Out
- Input Parameters: These are needed if you want to use an attribute in a node.
- Output Attributes
- Passthrough
- Mapping data into an actionflow for a specific instance
- Mapping data between nodes on an action flow
Disconnecting
Inserting Items

Referencing additional data

Lookups
- Creating a Lookup
- Returns a recordset
Views
- Creating Views
- Returns individual Records
Lookups vs Views:
- The differences
- When to use each one/ use cases
The difference between actions that run once per record (single circle around the node) and those that run once per flow (e.g. open dashboard, start phase, open url ... double circle around the node )

Confirmation dialogues

Security and permissions

Record throughput and behaviours

Exclusion Groups

Concurrency?

Where they can be initiated

Additional Topics

List all Actionflow and Screen Actionflow. Showing actionflow associated to a screen that are not connected. This occurs when we create actionflows in a workflow.

Scenarios to cover

Counting records (lookups)

Checking for duplicates (lookups)

Checking a value is in a list (lookups)

Setup an API end point

Configuring a Validation Phase (or another example?)

Verify a record is selected (validation)

Configuring a Confirmation

Custom confirmation message and screen
