Input data steps cause the user to be
prompted to populate an input field in the script area. The
input value can be saved in a field on a page or in temporary
storage. A Continue button always appears adjacent to the input
field. You may configure steps of this type to display one or
more buttons in addition to the Continue button. For example, you may want to provide the
ability for the user to return to a previous step to fix
incorrect information. The user may click on any of these
buttons when ready for the script to continue.
The following additional fields are required for
Input Data steps:
Destination Field Type and Destination Field Name define where the input field will
be saved. The Field Type defines where the field is located. The Field Name defines the name of the field. The following
points describe each field type:
-
Page Data Model. Use this field type
to put the input field into a field that resides on any of
the tab pages in the object
display area (i.e., the field populated doesn't have to
reside on the currently displayed tab page, it just has to be
part of the object that's currently displayed). Refer to
How To Find The Name Of Page Data Model Fields for
instructions on how to find the appropriate Field Name.
-
Temporary Storage. Use this field type
to put the input field into temporary storage. Use Field Name to name the field in temporary storage.
Refer to
How To Name Temporary Storage Fields for more
information.
-
User Interface Field. Use this field
type to put the input field into a field that resides on the
currently displayed tab page. Note, if you want to execute
underlying default logic, you must populate a
User Interface Field. Refer to
How To Find The Name Of User Interface Fields for
instructions on how to find the appropriate Field Name.
The Prompt Values grid may be used to define additional
buttons. A separate button is displayed in the script area for
each entry in this grid.
-
Prompt Text is the verbiage to appear on the button.
Refer to
How To Substitute Variables In Text for a description
of how you can substitute field values into the prompts.
-
Sequence controls the order of the buttons.
-
Next Script Step defines the step to execute if the
user clicks the button.
Note:
Conditional step type. This step type is
only applicable to BPA scripts.
