Get Entity Value

1. Determining the Records to be Read

• Select the entity and entity value in the UI.

2. Action Definition

• For example, add the following action to a button or screen opening:
  
  • + ADD ACTION > OnClick / OnLoad > EAV > Entity Value > Get Entity Value

• Parameters are set:

• EntityId: Symbol Picker > Select Box / Form Component / Action Result
• EntityValueId: Symbol Picker > Select Box / Form Component / Action Result

3. Using the Result

• The value obtained from the action is transferred to form fields or information boxes.
• It can be linked to a dynamic form element with the Set Value action.

To display a specific attribute value (e.g., ‘Address’) in the detail form of a customer record:

1. Select the customer and the relevant attribute value.
2. Trigger the Get Entity Value action.
3. The retrieved value is displayed in the form field.

• Conditional Data Retrieval: Data can be retrieved based on user permissions or specific filters.
• Data Formatting: The retrieved value can be formatted to suit the user.
• Chained Actions: The retrieved data can be used as input for other actions.

Technical Risks

• Missing or Incorrect ID: The action will fail if the parameters are missing or incorrect.
• Empty Data: If there is no data for the specified EntityValueId, an empty result is returned.
• Performance: Should not be called too frequently or unnecessarily.

The Get Entity Value action is a critical data reading tool for dynamic data management on the Kuika platform. When configured correctly, it provides detailed and customisable data display in applications.
