Kuika's Get Entity Values action is used to retrieve all registered attribute values (entity values) belonging to a specific entity from the system in bulk. This action is used to obtain a list of all data records associated with an entity.

This action is currently available in beta version and is still under development. It is recommended to test it carefully before using it in a production environment.

This action is preferred when all entity-based data values need to be displayed or processed in bulk.

Technical Specifications

Bulk Entity Value Retrieval (EAV Panel): The Get Entity Values action works with the following required parameter:
- EntityId (Guid - Required): The unique identifier of the entity whose values will be retrieved.
Data Source Compatibility: The EntityId parameter can be retrieved from the following sources via the Symbol Picker:
- Form Component

Web & Mobile Support: The Get Entity Values action works in both web and mobile applications.

Get Entity Values Action Application Steps

1. Entity Selection

A form field is prepared where the user selects the entity.

2. Action Definition

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

As a parameter:

EntityId: Assigned as Symbol Picker > Select Box, Fixed or Component.

3. Using the Result

The action result returns a list of all values belonging to the entity.
The returned data can be loaded into a table, repeater or dynamic form.
It can also be retrieved in JSON format with all attributes and values.

Use Case: Listing All Custom Field Values

All attribute values (e.g. ‘Phone’, “Address”, ‘Date of Birth’) belonging to a customer profile are displayed in a list or form.

The customer is selected.
The Get Entity Values action is executed.
The returned values are presented to the user in a table or detail screen.
