Data entry Action group

This topic describes the Procedure Actions included in the Data entry Action group and their specific properties.

The Data entry Actions allow you to trigger Data entry actions on Screen Objects, such as the Data View.

The Data entry Action group offers the following steps:

• Save Data entry

• Undo Data entry

• Save Data entry using a pattern based allocation

Save Data entry

This step allows you to save all values entered into the Screen Objects in the Screen where the Procedure is triggered.

Undo Data entry

This step allows you to restore the last saved values (i.e. it discards all unsaved changes) into the Screen Objects in the Screen where the Procedure is triggered.

Save Data entry using a pattern based allocation

This step allows you to save all values entered into the Screen Objects in the Screen where the Procedure is triggered. Values are saved based on the pattern-based allocation configured in the Block settings panel in the Layout editor.
See Data Block settings section for more details about the “pattern-based allocation” feature.

After a "Save Data entry" action, a “Refresh Screen” step is usually added  in order to immediately display changes in the Screen Objects.

All the steps above do not require any specific configuration.

In the case of a Capsule Procedure, the Data model dropdown menu allows you to select the Data model on which the Procedure step will be executed, except in cases where the Procedure step has specific options that act on other Data models (for example, the "Save Pending Changes to Disk" step in the "Advanced Action Group" can be configured to act on all Data models or only on the Data model where the Procedure resides).
