Why set Minimum and Maximum Records?
On an Actionflow's 
input connection point(s), a minimum and maximum number of records that should be received by the Actionflow before it runs can be defined. If the number of records received is not within the set minimum/maximum threshold, an error message will show.
This can be useful for:
- Ensuring at least one record is selected before proceeding with an edit
Setting Minimum and Maximum Records
- Click on the input node to open its
Properties tab - Expand the Validation section
- Enter a number for Minimum Records and/or Maximum Records
Apply and Close the properties
Worked Example
Here's a worked example using the Shop 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.

- For Maximum Records, enter
1 - Apply and Close the properties

- Close and reopen the Shop Staff screen to ensure the changes have taken effect
- To see the Actionflow in action, select multiple records on the Staff grid using the tick boxes, then click Edit
