Get Entity Values

Get Entity Values

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.

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

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

  • Filtering: Results can be filtered or paginated on the application side.
  • Data Conversion: The retrieved data can be converted to different formats for reporting or analysis.
  • Dynamic Form Integration: Values can be automatically assigned to dynamic form elements.

Technical Risks

  • Invalid or Missing EntityId: No results can be obtained if the parameter is incorrect.
  • Data Load: Performance issues may occur with very large data sets.
  • Incompatible Data Types: The values obtained must be compatible with the form components.

The Get Entity Values action is an ideal solution for quickly and collectively retrieving all attribute values associated with an entity in Kuika's dynamic data structure. Its flexible structure simplifies data management in many different use cases.
