Storing Data Temporarily While Gathering the Information Required to Create a Complete Record

If a task uses more than one view to get the information it requires to create a complete record, then you must use a transient business component. The task cannot insert a record in a business component until it collects a value for every field that the business component requires for a complete record. For example, assume you create a task that includes three separate views that do the following:

• In the first view, the user enters the opportunity name.

• In the second view, the user enters the close date.

• In the third view, the user enters the currency.

An opportunity record must include a value for each of the following required fields:

• Opportunity Name

• Close Date

• Currency

You must use a transient business component to collect this information across views in the task. You can configure the task to copy data from the transient business component to the business component record when this task finishes.
