Adding Confirmation and Condition to Actions in Application Development Process
You can increase functionality by adding Confirmation and Condition to actions. These features make actions more dynamic and controlled.

Adding Confirmation to Actions
Confirmation obtains confirmation from the user before the action is executed. This feature prevents accidental triggering of particularly critical actions.
Steps
Log in to the Kuika platform and open your project from the Apps screen.
In the UI Design module, open the Properties panel on the right side.
Add an action from the +ADD ACTION menu.
Click on the three dots icon on the top right corner of the action you want to add Confirmation to.
Select Add Confirmation from the menu that opens.
A text input box titled Confirmation Message is automatically added to the action.
Type the confirmation message. By default the message is “Confirm”; you can change this.
Mode of Operation:
When the action is executed, the added confirmation message is displayed as a Pop-up.
If the user gives confirmation, the action is executed, otherwise it is canceled.
Example:
By adding Confirmation to the action of deleting a user record, the message “Are you sure you want to delete this record?” can be displayed. This prevents accidental data loss.
Adding Condition to Actions
Condition allows actions to run only when a certain condition is met. This feature increases the control of actions.
Steps
Click the ellipsis icon in the upper right corner of the action you want to add Condition to.
Select Add Condition from the drop-down menu.
3. A sub-heading Will execute if... (Will execute if this condition is met) is automatically added to the action under the Condition heading.
Condition Filters “Does not contain”: Condition filters can be supplemented by the “Does not contain” filter, which is useful for filtering data results. This filter enables the processing of data sets that do not contain a specific value. It offers more flexibility and accuracy, especially when searching and filtering data.
Usage: With the “Does not contain” filter, you can select results that do not contain a specific text or value within the data. For example, you can filter a list of users that does not contain a specific word.
4. Define the condition via Symbol Picker. For example, you can check if a variable is equal to a certain value.
How it works:
If the condition is not met, the corresponding action will be skipped and subsequent actions will continue to be executed.
Example:
For a payment transaction, the condition that the payment amount is greater than 0 can be added to the action. If the amount is 0 or less, the action will not be executed.
