Getting Started with Initial Actions

Kuika's Initial Actions automate the actions that need to be performed during the loading of a screen, providing a great advantage to both developers and the user experience. Kuika's flexible and user-friendly interface allows you to easily define these actions, while increasing the performance of the application and speeding up processes.

Initial actions provide a powerful starting point, especially in applications with complex data structures. They form a critical building block that speeds up the operation of the application and improves the user experience.

For example:

• When loading a user's profile screen, Initial actions automatically pull profile information from the database and display it on the screen.
• Operations such as sorting products on a listing screen or loading data sets on a chart screen can be initiated with Initial actions.

You can use Initial actions only when the screen is selected. If an element is selected, the action type can be changed and only actions related to that element can be defined.

1. How to Add Initial Actions?

1. Log in to Kuika platform and open the project you will work on from the Apps screen.
2. Click on the UI Design module.
3. With the screen selected, go to the Properties panel on the right side.
4. Click on the+ ADD ACTION button.
5. Select Initial Actions from the action menu.
6. Add and configure an action that suits the needs of your application.

2. Configuring Initial Actions

Depending on the requirements of the application, you can use system actions from Kuika within Initial actions.

System actions allow you to perform operations specific to certain application types faster and in a standardized way.

For example

• Checking user login credentials
• Loading default settings
• Start automatic notifications

3. Advantages of Initial Actions

• Saves time: Automates repetitive operations while the screen is loading.
• Improves user experience: Provides a fast and fluid start.
• Offers flexibility: Can be customized for different screens or application types.

By following these steps you can successfully configure Initial Actions on the Kuika platform.
