Save current page data

The Save current page data action saves all input fields on the current page that belong to entity containers and are bound to the database. Trigger it from a rule (for example on a button click); it will store each form's data and, if online, send it to the server.

Properties and Explanation

Here are the steps to follow in order to use the Save current page data action:

• No properties to set: There are no user-configurable options for this action. It automatically targets all input fields inside entity containers that are bound to the database.

• Where to put it: Add this action to a rule and choose when the rule should run (for example: on a Save button click, on form submit, or on a workflow event).

• What it does when run:

  • Finds all forms on the current page and inside page containers.

  • For each form, saves every input field that is linked to the database.

  • If the device is online, it sends the saved data to the server; if offline, it keeps the saved data and sends it when the device is back online.

Full Configuration Example

Below is a screenshot-style description of the Save current page data action configuration:

• Properties: none (no settings to change)

• Trigger: Save button click (example)

In this example, when the Save button is clicked the action saves every bound input field on the page. If online the data is immediately sent to the server; otherwise it is stored and sent later automatically.
