Add a Call Component Action

You add a Call Component action to call a method on a component.

For API information about this action, see Call Component Method in the Oracle Visual Builder Page Model Reference.

To use a Call Component action:

  1. Add the action in one of three ways, as explained at the end of Built-In Actions.
  2. In the Properties pane, select the component name from the Selector list, which is only populated with components that have their ID properties specified.

    For example, if your page contains three buttons whose IDs are Create, Update, and Save, you'll see those options available for selection in the list.

  3. With the component selected, select or enter the Method Name to call:

  4. If the method requires input parameters, hover over the far-right side of the parameters under the Parameters section and click Select Variable to choose their source.
If a value is returned by the action, it is assigned to the auto-generated variable shown by the Store Result In property.
