Overview

The Tree component is a user interface element designed to display hierarchical data in a tree-like structure. It organizes data into interconnected nodes, allowing users to navigate and interact with the information effectively.

For example, In a Salesforce custom application for managing organizational structure, the Tree component could be used to display the hierarchy of departments and employees. This setup helps users easily navigate through and manage organizational data.

Attributes:

Attributes are the options available for each component, allowing you to customize its appearance and functionality. They help you tailor the look and behavior of your components to fit your needs.

Basic:

Attribute Name	Description
Component Size	This allows users to modify the size of a specific component according to the grid size of layout. This feature allows for flexible customization, enabling users to resize components to fit their specific needs within the defined grid structure. For example, If the layout grid size is 3 then layout is divided into 3 sections then you can changes the components size between 1 to 3.
Model	Creating a New Model: You can either select an existing model from the list or create a new model by clicking on the "Create New Model" option. Reference: Model Creation
Header Field	A Header is the name shown to users and can come from various sources. Reference: Label Source Type
ID Field	Each tree node must have a unique identifier for identification purposes. All fields are visible except for image, address, array, and object type fields. Here you can select the field from the list. Reference: Id Field
Label Field	The label field is designated for displaying the label of the tree node. All fields are visible except for image, address, array, and object type fields. Reference: Nodes
Parent Field	The lookup field type should be used as a self-lookup to create a hierarchy. In this context, only lookup fields are visible. Reference: Parent Node
MIn Height
Max Height

Base UI:

Attribute Name	Description
Padding Location	"Padding Location" typically refers to the configuration of spacing around elements
Padding Size	"Padding Size" refers to the amount of space added inside an element, between the element's content and its border or edge.

Description

Visibility Type

It determines whether a component is visible on the layout. It offers the following visibility types:

Always: The component will always be visible.
Conditional: The component's visibility is determined based on specific criteria, which can make it either visible or hidden as needed.
You can explore more about Visibility Type here.

Reference: Conditional Visibility

Id Field

This ID field is designed to present a list of available options only when the associated UI field is added to the model that has been bound to it.
This ensures that the list appears in the context of the data or configuration specified by the model, allowing for a more dynamic and relevant display of options based on the user's selections and the binding context.

Nodes

This nodes field will display a list of available options only when you include the corresponding UI field in the model that has been bound to it.
This functionality ensures that the list is dynamically generated and relevant to the specific configuration of the model,

Parent Node

This parent node field will show a list of available options only when you add the corresponding UI field to the model that has been bound to it.
This ensures that the displayed list is contextually relevant and dynamically generated based on the specific configuration of the bound UI field in the model.

Icon Field

This icon field will display a list of available options only when the corresponding UI field is added to the model that has been bound to it.
This ensures that the list of icons is contextually appropriate and dynamically generated, aligning with the specific configuration of the bound UI field within the model.

Add Condition & Group Condition

Condition	Description
Add Condition	The Add Condition feature allows users to define multiple criteria that must be met for a validation rule to trigger. This feature is used to create complex logic by combining different conditions that Salesforce evaluates before allowing a record to be saved.
Add Group Condition	The Add Group Condition feature allows users to group multiple conditions together, creating complex logic that involves different sets of criteria. This feature is particularly useful when combining conditions that should be evaluated as a unit (logical OR within a group) or when nesting conditions for more advanced logic.

Filter Operator:

Note: Before using the filter criteria, it's important to understand which filter operators are supported for each field type

Filters Attributes:

Filter Operators

Operator	Supported Field Types	Description
Equal	Number, Currency, Date, Text, Boolean, Picklist	The equal operator is used to compare two values or expressions. It is used to compare numbers, strings, Boolean values, variables, objects, etc. The result is TRUE if the expressions are equal otherwise it’s FALSE

Below here is the onload event workflow action.

Note: Similarly you can create event action for search and select.

on Load Event:

In the image below, you can select the created workflows.

Note: "You need to create a workflow for selecting from this list.

For more information about Workflow check this out.

Reference: Workflow

onload Events:

We have an onload event that runs when the component is loaded

For example, when a form is loaded, you can choose fields to be prepopulated by mapping field values using input mapping at the time the form component is loaded.

Input Mapping

Input Mapping: "Whenever an event is triggered and you want to pass data to destinations such as models, variables, or components, you can use input mapping to achieve that.
