Wiring Actionflow Outputs to Screens

This page is for application designers who want to create actionflows to add functionality to an application screen. For actionflow concepts, see Understanding Actionflows.

Pushing data back to the originating screen

Actionflows can push data from the actionflow back to the originating screen once the actionflow has completed. Data can be mapped back to forms and used to populate form fields and dynamic text.

To create outputs

  1. In the outputs pane, click add.
  2. Name the connection point out
  3. Click create connection point
  4. Select the form to return data to
  5. Map attributes from the actionflow onto the form attributes.
     
    The attributes on the form should populate when the actionflow is ran. See Wiring Actionflows.

stream attributes → attributes
stream item → record
stream set → recordset
stream view → view
