How to embed a list view display in a section or flow action

Using the List View control () in the Advanced control group (), you can configure a section rule to display at runtime the results of a list view rule. Optionally, each row of the display can contain a radio button or check box. Users can select one or more rows of the display to act upon.

After you save the section rule, you can include it in a flow action rule, other section rules, or a harness rule. At runtime, the system executes the list view rule and displays the results. For instructions, see Harness, Section, and Flow Action rules — Adding a List View display.

In this example, the flow action SelectCustomer references a section rule SelectCustomer that references a list view rule named Customers.All.

At runtime, the user selects one customer from the flow action form by clicking a single radio button. When the user clicks  Submit   to complete the flow action, three properties from the selected row — .Name, .Phone, and CustomerID — are copied into the Customer page within the work object top-level page.

Example of multiple selection

The flow action form SelectBooks allows the user to select none, one, or more than one book from a list view report. The user selects a check box for each row desired. When the user clicks the  Submit   button on the flow action form, a page containing five properties is created within the Books property, a Page List property.
