Adding Confirmation and Condition to Actions in Application Development Process
During application development, you can increase functionality by adding Confirmation and Condition to actions. It allows actions to work in a more dynamic and controlled way.
This training content consists of the following topics:
Adding Confirmation to actions,
Adding Conditions to actions.
Adding Confirmation to Actions
Confirmation allows you to get confirmation from the user before an action is executed. It is used to prevent accidental triggering of the action, especially for critical operations.
Steps to Add Confirmation to Actions:
After logging into the Kuika platform, open the project you will work on from the “Apps” screen.
While in the “UI Design” module, open the “Properties” panel on the right side.
Add an action from the “+ADD ACTION” drop-down menu.
Hover over the action you want to add Confirmation and click on the three dots icon in the upper right corner.
Select Add Confirmation from the drop-down menu.
A Text Input Box under the title Confirmation Message will be automatically added to the action.
You can type the confirmation message that will be displayed before the action is executed. The default message is “Confirm”; you can delete it and add your own message.
The added Confirmation will be displayed as a Pop-up message during the execution of the action.
When you confirm, the action is executed, otherwise it is canceled.
For example, Confirmation can be added to a user record deletion action to show the message “Are you sure you want to delete this record?”. This prevents accidental loss.
Adding Condition to Actions
Condition allows actions to run only if a certain condition is met. This feature makes the control and flow of actions more dynamic.
Steps to Add Condition to Actions:
Hover over the action you want to add Condition to and click on the three dots icon in the upper right corner.
Select Add Condition from the drop-down menu.
Adding Condition Structure:
A Will execute if... (Will execute if this condition is met) sub-heading will be automatically added to the related action under the Condition heading.
You can add a condition to the action with the subheading.
Define the condition through the Symbol Picker under the Will execute if... subheading.
For example, you can check if a variable is equal to a certain value.
If the condition is not met, the action will be skipped and subsequent actions will continue to be executed.
Usage Scenario:
When adding an action for a payment transaction, you can add a condition that the payment amount is greater than 0. If the amount is 0 or less, the action will not be executed.
