Hi all I have a fairly common question I believe:

I have a linked View which focuses on one single instance of object. This has two augmented attributes: status and freetextfield of reason. The View has an ID variables (and filters) to narrow down on exactly one object.

 

Now I am only aware of updating augmented attributes via a table and a row. But I would rather use a more userfriendly way of a Button + Input Field to update the Object characterized by the ID.

 

Does anyone have a similar setup and a solution on updating Augmented Attributes via anything else but an OLAP Table?

 

I could imagine an Action Flow and passing in the ID, but I am unsure if its possible to trigger one via a Button Component.

Hi Manuel, yes this should be doable using an Action Flow and a button:

 

Step 1: Set Up Your Input Fields

  • Create Input Fields:
    • Text Input: For the freetext field.
    • Dropdown Button: For the status (if you have predefined status options).
  • Bind Variables:
    • Bind these input fields to variables.

 

Step 2: Create the Action Flow

  • Create a New Action Flow:
    • Trigger: Set the trigger as manual.
  • Actions:
    • Update Augmented Attributes:
      • Object: Select the object you want to update.
  • Attributes: Map the attributes to the variables
  • Filters: Add a filter to ensure you are updating the correct instance using the ID.

 

Step 3: Configure the Button Component

  • Add a Button Component to your analysis sheet.
  • Configure the Button:
    • Select the Action Flow you created.
    • Pass Parameters: Ensure the button passes the necessary parameters, including the ID and the input field values.

 

Best regards


@simon.markm11 - Could you please let me know where exactly we need to perform Step 1?

I need to create a field with dropdown and I'm aware text input, but I need input as a dropdown. Thanks.
