 ~~Title: VisionX Actions~~
-Version: 5.0 / 2019-07-01
+Version: 1.0 / 2023-04-04
 ====== Introduction ======
-VisionX actions allow the user to add more functionality/features to their applications. Actions are used to implement functions in workscreens, such as clicking a button named "Report" to open a report, or calculating the value ''%%QUANTITY * PRICE%%'' in the "SUM" column based on a value change in the "QUANTITY" column.
+This chapter is about adding functionality and features to a screen.
-There are numerous examples for the use of actions. The following chapters will explain the functionality of actions using common examples.
+For example, open a document on button click, calculate values after user input or log user changes, like when and who edited the record the last time. Of course, there are many more actions which we will look at in detail below.
-We will begin with the basics.
+VisionX allows this very easily via events and actions.
+The chapter is divided into the following sections:
+  * Basics
+  * Events
+  * Actions
+  * Formulas
+  * Parameter
+  * List of events
+  * List of actions
+  * List of conditions
+  * List of formulas
+Let's start with the basics.
 ====== Basics ======
-Actions are created, edited and deleted via VisionX's GUI designer. They can be used for a number of events, such as, for example, the click of a button. When the selected event occurs during the use of a workscreen, the respective action is performed.
+Events define when something happens and actions what happens.
-Example: When the event "button click" occurs, the specified action is executed. For example, the action can show a a report.
+In the previously mentioned examples events are click on a button ('create action'), user input ('row value changed') or data change ('after updating row').
-The following steps show how a report is displayed after the click of a button labeled "Report".
+The equivalent actions are open a document ('show file'), calculate values ('calculate value') and update modified values ('set value').
-====== Define Actions ======
+===== Events =====
-The following steps demonstrate the definition of a simple action.
+Let's have a closer lock on events. In order to add an action you must first think of the event which will trigger the action.
-Example: Displaying a report by clicking a button labeled "Report".
+Screens, Tabsets, Editing Panels, Tables, Input Fields, Buttons and Hyperlinks have a lot of different events. A List of all these events and their description is provided below (see [[#list_of_events|List of events]]).
-  - Open a workscreen in the GUI Designer - e.g.: the "Contacts" workscreen
+==== Create / edit event ====
-  - Select the "Report" button in the GUI Designer and click on the pencil icon
-{{:visionx:actions:add-action-1.png?nolink|Step 2 - Create a new action}}
+If you open the customizer with a right click on an element, a list of all possible events is displayed.
-<HTML><ol start="3" style="list-style-type: decimal;"></HTML>
+After selecting the desired event, the action wizard will be opened.
-<HTML><li></HTML>Click on the button "Create/Edit Action" to create/edit an action<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ol></HTML>
-{{:visionx:actions:add-action-2.png?nolink|Step 3 - The Action Wizard}}
+{{:visionx:actions:actions1.png?nolink|}}
-<HTML><ol start="4" style="list-style-type: decimal;"></HTML>
+For example, if you want to show an uploaded image on button click you have to open the customizer with a right click on the button (1).
-<HTML><li></HTML>Enter a description of the action on the "Description" tab<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>Click on the "Action" tab and select "Show Report"<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ol></HTML>
-{{:visionx:actions:add-action-3.png?nolink|Step 5 - Select the correct action.}}
+At the bottom of the customizer a list of all possible events is displayed (2).
-<HTML><ol start="6" style="list-style-type: decimal;"></HTML>
+If you click on one of the events, the edit action wizard is opened.
-<HTML><li></HTML>Select the desired report as parameter<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ol></HTML>
-{{:visionx:actions:add-action-4.png?nolink|Step 6 - The finished report action.}}
+{{:visionx:actions:actions2_1.png?nolink|}}
-<HTML><ol start="7" style="list-style-type: decimal;"></HTML>
+===== Actions =====
-<HTML><li></HTML>Click the "Verify" button and then "OK" to verify and save<HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ol></HTML>
-This completes the action. It can be tested by closing the GUI Designer and changing to runtime mode. Clicking the "Report" button opens the "Contacts" report.
+In the edit action wizard, you have 3 different tabs.
-Also, all selection lists can be searched for values using *. E.g.: "*show" to search for all commands containing "show".
+{{:visionx:actions:actions2.png?nolink|}}
-====== Documentation / Software Developer Specification ======
+In the first tab **'Description'** (1) you can describe the functionality of the element.
-When an action is created, the first tab of the action wizard can be used to add a description. Our experience shows that unfortunately the documentation of applications is often neglected, or when it is created, not kept up to date. VisionX offers a great advantage through the universal use of a centralized description throughout the entire application. Consistent updating of the documentation requires little effort and should not be neglected. It particularly simplifies and shortens communication efforts when parts of the development tasks are transferred to suppliers.
+This description will be added in the documentation (Help or Specification) which can be generated in VisionX.
-In VisionX, the description of the action on the first tab of the action wizard is used for the following:
+The description will also be used as documentation directly in the generated source code.
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
+The second tab **'Action'** (2) offers the possibility to create or edit the actions.
-<HTML><li></HTML><HTML><p></HTML>Description of the action in the specification document.<HTML></p></HTML>
-<HTML><p></HTML>This text serves as specification of the action for the software developer!<HTML></p></HTML>
-Specification documents make it easy to outsource certain functions to software providers / IT departments.<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML>Description of the action in the application's online help.<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML><HTML><p></HTML>Description of the action in the function header (Javadoc) of the action-function in the Java source code.<HTML></p></HTML>
-<HTML><p></HTML>Changes to the description text (Javadoc) in the source code are automatically transferred verbatim to the VisionX action editor.<HTML></p></HTML>
-<HTML><p></HTML>This makes it easy to keep the documentation up to date!<HTML></p></HTML><HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ul></HTML>
-====== Command Categories ======
+When you are an advanced user, it is possible to edit the source code directly. This can be done in the tab **'Source Code'** (3). The changes must be validated too.
-There are different types of commands in VisionX:
+For each action an example of the generated java code is provided, which can also be inserted or edited directly in the source code tab.
-<HTML><ul></HTML>
+==== Tab Action ====
-<HTML><li></HTML><HTML><p></HTML>Commands<HTML></p></HTML>
-Commands execute predefined operations. They can include parameters that are considered when the action is performed.<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML><HTML><p></HTML>Conditions<HTML></p></HTML>
-<HTML><p></HTML>Conditions allow for the execution of commands in dependence on whether the condition is met or not.<HTML></p></HTML>
-Example: If the currently registered user has the "Administrator" role, all fields on the workscreen are visible. If the user does not have this role, only selected fields are shown.<HTML></li></HTML>
-<HTML><li></HTML><HTML><p></HTML>Loops<HTML></p></HTML>
-<HTML><p></HTML>Loops are used to execute commands multiple times for the datasets of a table/view.<HTML></p></HTML>
-<HTML><p></HTML>Example: Sending an email to all contacts.<HTML></p></HTML><HTML></li></HTML><HTML></ul></HTML>
-====== Commands ======
+In this tab you can configure the actions.
-Commands execute predefined operations, considering the specified parameters.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions3.png?nolink|}}
-===== Formulas in commands =====
+The action and the needed parameters are called **'Command'** (1).
-A number of commands can include the use of formulas. E.g. "Calculate Value".
+For example 'show file' with the parameters 'Filename' and 'Content' is a command.
-Formulas allow for the calculation of values using basic arithmetic operations, as well as a variety of group functions. For arithmetic operations ''%%+%%'',''%%-%%'',''%%*%%'', ''%%/%%'' and brackets ''%%(%%'' ''%%)%%'' can be used. E.g.: ''%%12 *23 / 2 + (1 - [Items.Quantity] * [Items.Price]) - [Booking.Discount]%%''.
+A command is one of 3 possible statements (2).
-Group functions calculate results based on all values in a table column. A list is created using each row in the table column; the group function is then applied to this list. E.g. ''%%avg([Items.Price])%%'' which returns the average of the prices in the table "Items".
+The statements are **'Command'**, **'Condition'** and **'Repeat'**.
-In addition, all functions are available in the variant to return ''%%null%%'' if all values in the column were ''%%null%%''. These variants have the same name but are postfixed with "Null", E.g. ''%%avgNull([Items.Price])%%''. For additional information see [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_(SQL)|the Wikipedia entry on SQL Null]].
+Statements can be selected and combined as often as desired.
-==== avg / avgNull ====
+The configured statements can be checked using 'Validate'. (3) The wizard remains open and changes can still be made.
-Returns the average of all values.
+With 'Finish' (4) the generated code is also checked, applied and the wizard is closed.
-<code>
+'Cancel' (4) discards all changes and closes the wizard.
-avg([Items.Price])
-avgNull([Items.Price])
+==== Create Statements ====
+It is possible to add more than one statements to an event.
+To add another statement it must be dragged from the statement block and dropped into the existing list of statements in the appropriate order.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions5.png?nolink|}}
+Therefore, you can select and drag the statement out from the right box (1) into the list of actions.
+The black line indicates where the statement will be placed (2).
+==== Sort Statements ====
+It is also possible to change the order of the statements.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions3_4.png?nolink|}}
+To do this, move the mouse pointer to the left over the statement and start the move mode as already described for adding a new statement.
+==== Delete Statements ====
+A statement can be deleted using the red cross to the right of the statement.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions3_2_2.png?nolink|}}
+It's also possible to delete all statements of an event. Therefore you must click the red cross next to the event.
+//{{:visionx:actions:actions8.png?nolink|}}//
+==== Command ====
+By default, an empty command is added in the wizard and you can select the appropriate action.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions3_1.png?nolink|}}
+Let's look at our example 'show file'.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions3_2.png?nolink|}}
+The action 'show file' for example, opens the selected file stored in a data table.
+This action needs two parameters which you need to select from the corresponding table. The first one is the filename and the second the file itself.
+==== Condition ====
+Now let's look at conditions. With conditions it's possible to perform an action only if a certain condition is met.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions6.png?nolink|}}
+Therefore, you must drag a condition out of the right statement box (1).
+Now you can define the condition when the action has to be performed.
+For example, if a file was uploaded (2) no action is performed, if a file was uploaded the file is displayed (3).
+==== Repeat ====
+It's also possible to perform an action for each row in a table.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions7.png?nolink|}}
+Therefore, you must drag a repeat statement out of the statement box on the right side (1).
+Now you can decide for which table the action should be performed (2).
+In this example an email is sent to each contact stored in the table (3).
+==== Validate, Finish and Cancel ====
+After an event has been configured, it still needs to be validated.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions3_5.png?nolink|}}
+The configured statements can be validated using 'Validate'. (1) The wizard remains open and changes can still be made.
+With 'Finish' (2) the generated code is also validated, but applied and the wizard is closed.
+'Cancel' (2) discards all changes and closes the wizard.
+==== Search for actions ====
+There are two possible ways to search for actions.
+The first option is to open the drop down box in the action wizard and enter a search term.
+For example, if you search for 'value' only actions with the term 'value' are displayed.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions9.png?nolink|}}
+The second possibility is to open the search wizard (1) with the button '...' (2) next to the dropdwonbox.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions10.png?nolink|}}
+You can either search for a term (1) or filter all actions by category (2). It's also possible to combine both.
+{{:visionx:actions:actions11.png?nolink|}}
+If an action is selected all required parameters and a short description are displayed below.
+==== Create, Edit or Delete ====
+In the customizer you can see if actions are configured and it's possible to delete or edit them.
+//{{:visionx:actions:actions4.png?nolink|}}//
+Events with attached actions are now renamed to 'edit …' (1) on click the action wizard is opened and shows the actions.
+With the red cross next to the event you can delete all defined statements (2).
+Events with no action are still named 'create….' (3).
+===== Formulas =====
+A number of actions can include the use of formulas.
+These actions can be recognized by the fact that the parameter input field is marked with "Formula", which are:
+  * [[#calculate_value|Calculate value]]
+  * [[#set_label_with_calculated_currency|Set label with calculated currency]]
+  * [[#set_label_with_calculated_date|Set label with calculated date]]
+  * [[#set_label_with_calculated_date_short|Set label with calculated date short]]
+  * [[#set_label_with_calculated_date_time|Set label with calculated date time]]
+  * [[#set_label_with_calculated_date_time_short|Set label with calculated date time short]]
+  * [[#set_label_with_calculated_time|Set label with calculated time]]
+  * [[#set_label_with_calculated_value|Set label with calculated value]]
+  * [[#set_parameter_with_calculated_value|Set Parameter with calculated value]]
+There are lots of arithmetic operations, group functions, date calculation and text operations available.
+A forumla is directly written in the formula field of an action.
+{{:visionx:actions:formulas.png?nolink|}}
+For a list of possible formulas see [[#list_of_formulas|List of formulas]]
+===== Parameters =====
+Parameters can be used to temporarily store values and reuse them within the screen or pass parameters to a screen.
+When the screen is closed, the parameter and the corresponding value are no longer available.
+There are the following actions to set or calculate parameters:
+  * [[#set_parameter|Set Parameter]]
+  * [[#set_parameter_with_calculated_value|Set Parameter with calculated value]]
+  * [[#set_parameter_with_concatenated_text|Set Parameter with concatenated text]]
+====== List of events ======
+===== Screen =====
+==== On Load ====
+This event is triggered if the screen is initialized. As long as the screen is not closed and reopened this event will not be executed again.
+In this event everything should be implemented that influences the screen directly. For example, hide elements due to roles, control access to tables (edit, update, delete), set filters...
+==== On Active ====
+This event is triggered each time the screen gets active.
+For example, if you open the screen or activate the screen through an action from another screen or through a menu.
+For example, if ID parameters are passed to the screen, they will be used in this action.
+==== On Close ====
+This event is triggered short before the screen is closed.
+With this event it is possible to prevent the closing throug an exception.
+===== Tabset / Editing Panel =====
+==== Tab Activated ====
+If a tab of a tabset is activated this event is triggered.
+===== Table / Input Fields =====
+==== Row Value Changed ====
+Every time a value of the selected table is changed, this event is triggered. The event is triggered when the input field is deselected.
+Hint: With this action you can create a log that saves any user changes. For more information see
+It is good practice to add changed_on, created_on table columns for all relevant tables.

+If the action Restore selected record is executed, this event is triggered before restoring the row.
+The data is taken from the memory and no database query is performed.
+==== After Restore Row ====
+If the action Restore selected record is executed, this event is triggered before restoring the row.
+The data is taken from the memory and no database query is performed.
+==== Before Reload Row ====
+If any reload action is executed, this event is triggered before reloading the selected row.
+The data is fetched from the database.
+==== After Reload Row ====
+If any reload action is executed, this event is triggered after reloading the selected row.
+The data is fetched from the database.
+===== Button / Hyperlink =====
+==== Create Action ====
+This event is triggered every time the button / hyperlink is clicked.
+===== Validator =====
+==== Create Validation ====
+This event is triggered every time the validator is used.

+==== Is row selected ====
-{{:visionx:actions:sum-1.png?nolink|The example of creating a sum.}}
+If a certain row of the selected table is selected the condition is true and the actions in the "If" path are executed.
-  - The column "Bill.Total" is set to 0.
+Hint: The row numbers start at 0 and not at 1. For example, the row numbered 2 is the 3rd row in the table.
-  - The following command is executed for all rows of the table "Items":
-    - Calculate ''%%[Bill.Total] + [Items.Price]%%'' and write the resulting value to "[Bill.Total]".
-All prices are added and the total is saved in the "Bill.Total" column

+</code>
+==== Is screen showing ====
-Another common example is the generation of sub-totals after each individual entry. In the example below, the table "To-dos" contains a column "Value1" (e.g. for expenses). For each To-do row we would like to know the amount of expenses that have accumulated up to and including the current To-do item.
+The condition is true when the current screen is displayed and not closed.
-The values in the "Value1" column are added from the first row to the currently selected row using the sumToCurrent([Todos.Value1]) group function. This function returns the sub-total of expenses in each To-do row.
+<code java>
+if (isShowing()) {
+  showInformation(this,"yes");
+}
+else {
+  showInformation(this,"no");
+}
+</code>
+==== Is selected row greater ====
-If the expenses for an individual To-do item ("Value1" column) are changed, all sub-totals in all rows have to be recalculated. This calculation can be performed using a repetition involving all rows in the To-dos table. It is good practice to add this action as a "value change" event in the "To-dos" table. In addition, the currently selected row in the "Todos" table should be saved, and restored after the operation is completed.
+If the current row of the selected table is greater than the defined row number the condition is true and the actions in the "If" path are executed.
-{{:visionx:actions:sum-2.png?nolink|The example of creating sub-totals.}}

+====== List of formulas ======
+A number of actions can include the use of formulas. E.g. "Calculate Value".
+===== Arithmetic operations =====
+Formulas allow for the calculation of values using basic arithmetic operations, as well as a variety of group functions. For arithmetic operations ''%%+%%'',''%%-%%'',''%%*%%'', ''%%/%%'' and brackets ''%%(%%'' ''%%)%%'' can be used. E.g.: ''%%12 *23 / 2 + (1 - [Items.Quantity] * [Items.Price]) - [Booking.Discount]%%''.
+The arithmetic operations can be used with the following actions:
