Why set Minimum and Maximum Records?

On an Actionflow's  input connection point(s), a minimum and maximum number of records that the Actionflow receives before it runs can be defined. If the received records are not within the set minimum/maximum threshold, the Actionflow will not run. 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 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

Configuring a Maximum Records Threshold

In this example, we'll set a maximum number of records that can be edited at once.

1. Open the Shop Staff screen
2. Open the Actionflow on the Edit button
3. Click on the  input node to open its  Properties tab
   1. Expand the Validation section
