Input Data Steps
Note:BPA scripts only. This step type is only applicable to BPA scripts.
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.
• Sequence controls the order of the buttons.
• Next Script Step defines the step to execute if the user clicks the button.
