Assignment

Config

After clicking on '+' button, following screen for specifying assignment condition opens up.

Condition	Description
Destination Type	It specifies the destination where the assignment is to be done. Note: By default, the Destination Type is model. You can explore more about Destination Type Reference: Destination Type
Model	It is specifically dependent on Destination Type one chooses. If you choose another Destination Type, you will get that field label here.
Field	After choosing the second condition field, you will get this field visible in modal. If you chose Model as second condition field, this will be field and if you chose variable as second field, there will be variable.
Operator	It is specifically operator value such as Set, Equals, Greater than, Equals than. Note: It is disabled until you fill above 3 condition fields.
Source Type	In this option, you can select various sources from which you want to display values. Note: By default, the Source Type is Static. Note: It is disabled until you fill above 3 condition fields. You can explore Source Type Reference: Source Type
Value	The available options will change depending on the selected source type. For example, if you choose "Static" as the source, you can provide a fixed static value. Note: It is disabled until you fill above 3 condition fields.

Operators

Operator	Supported Destination types	Description
Set	Single Record Models Multi-record Models Non Array Variable	This operator allows you to set or assign all data from the source to the selected destination.
Append	Multi-record models Array type Variables	This operator enables you to append data sequentially from the source to the selected destination.
Remove	Multi-record models Array type Variables	This operator removes data sequentially from the selected destination based on the source.
Merge	Single Record Models	This operator merges data from the source into the selected destination.

Destination Type

In noKodr, the term Destination refers to the location where you want to assign or add a value. It allows you to choose from multiple options for where the value should be applied or stored.

For example, If you are assigning a value to the "First Name" field for a contact, then the "First Name" field would be the Destination. This means that the value you provide for the first name will be stored or displayed in that specific field, ensuring that the contact's information is correctly recorded.

Multiple Options: You can select from various destinations based on your needs, ensuring flexibility in how and where data is assigned.
Value Assignment: Determines the target location for assigning values, which could include fields from models, or other data storage points within the application.

Destination Type	Description
Model	From this source, users can select a Model (Salesforce Object) field to be displayed as the label name.
Variable	Here, users can select the label name from variables such as Record ID, Is Disabled, Is Read only, or Is Visible.
cookie key	By using the Cookie Key, the result is fetched by the value that has been added under the Cookie Key. But, have to make sure that the value that we are adding is from the Cookie Key value.
Local Storage Key	By using the Local Storage Key, the result is fetched by the value that has been added under the Local Storage Key. But, have to make sure that the value that we are adding is from the Local storage value.

Source Type

In noKodr, Source Type refers to the origin or location from which a value is retrieved or obtained. It defines where the data comes from before being used or assigned to field.

For example, Suppose you need to retrieve a contact's first name to populate a form field. In this case, the Source Type would be the "First Name" field from the contact record. This means that the value for the contact’s first name is pulled from this field, and then it can be used or displayed in the target location within the application.

Source Type	Description
Static	Use this option to provide a fixed static value.
Field	Select the field from the chosen object in the model whose value you want to include.
Model	Choose the field from other models whose value you want to include.
Variable	Select from the variables created in the layout whose value you want to use.
Cookie Key	Choose the available cookie key whose value you want to include from your browser.
Local Storage Key	Select the available Local Storage Key whose value you want to include from your browser.
User	You can also select fields from the current logged-in user in your organization to include in the merge. Note: The User source refers to the currently logged-in user in your organization. This means that if you include the First Name field from the user, each time a different user logs in, they will see their own First Name displayed.
Null	It enables assign null value to the Destination Type field we chose.
Blank	It enables assign blank value to the Destination Type field we chose.

Action Details:

Attribute Name	Description
Label	A user-friendly name for the action, used for easy identification within the application.
Name	The unique identifier for the action, typically used in code or within merge text.
Is Async?	Decides whether the action will be performed in async context or within sync context.
Description	A user-friendly description for the action, used for easy apprehend within the application.

Is Async : Brief Explaination

Is Async checkbox provides flexibility in managing how actions within workflows are executed in relation to system transactions. Here's how it works:

Single Transaction Execution: When multiple actions within a workflow have Is Async set to false, they are executed within a single transaction. This ensures that all actions complete successfully, or if one fails, the entire transaction is rolled back, maintaining data integrity.
Breaking Transactions: When an action within the workflow has Is Async set to true, a new transaction is initiated at that point. This allows for separation between the actions, enabling different parts of the workflow to be processed independently.
Handling Large Data: The Is Async feature is especially useful when working with large amounts of data that may risk hitting system governor limits. By setting certain actions as asynchronous, you can ensure that the workflow avoids limits by breaking the execution into multiple transactions.

This feature empowers users to control how workflows behave during execution, optimizing performance and avoiding potential issues with system resources.

Input:

Overview

In noKodr, an Input Variable is used to temporarily store a value and pass it to a desired action or component within the application. It facilitates the dynamic transfer of data between different elements of the application.

Temporary Storage: Stores values temporarily during the application's operation, allowing for flexible data handling.
Data Passing: Enables the transfer of values to other workflow actions or components, such as layouts, Components etc. based on user interactions or other triggers.

For example, Suppose you have a button that, when clicked, opens a layout or modal (screen) displaying a user's personal information. To achieve this, you can use an Input Variable to pass the user's ID from the button click event to the layout or modal. This allows the layout to retrieve and display the relevant personal information associated with that user ID.

Variable Config	Description
Label	A user-friendly name for the variable, used for easy identification within the application.

Field Type	Specifies the type of data the variable will hold (e.g., text, number, date, etc). Reference: Field Types
Default Value	The initial value assigned to the variable, applied if no other value is provided. Note: It depends on the field type we choose.
Required	If checked true, the variable becomes required.
Is Array ?	Checkbox that indicates whether the variable can store multiple values (an array) instead of just one.
