HOW IT WORKS:

A Simple Example to configure the 'Pop Search and Select' activity in PopFlow Studio.

• To configure a 'Pop Search and Select' activity first you need to get the data from 'GET Activity' or 'HTTPS Activity'.

• This example is created with the 'GET DATA' activity to get the data. We are fetching the contact information from the database to show the pop-up in the oracle service cloud.
• Once you have created the 'GET' activity or 'HTTPS' activity now you can create the 'Pop Search and Select' activity under 'GET' or 'HTTPS' activity. Click on any child button to open the Activity sidebar. Now select the 'Pop Search and Select' Activity.

• Now you can see the activity has been created under the GET or HTTPS activity.

• Click on the 'Pop Search and Select' to open the Activity panel.

• Once the Activity is opened now fill the Defaults required fields i.e. 'Title', 'Data Source' and 'Save Results In'.

Columns To Show

• You can display all the columns of the table or You can define the columns that will be displayed in the search grid. To define the columns click on the 'Columns To Show' button to create the fields. After clicking on button it will create a panel with 'Column Path' and 'Column Name' fields. In the 'Column Path' field enter the column path value and inside the 'Column Name' you can enter any friendly name for the title, 'Column Name' field is optional you can either enter the value or left it blank. If the 'Column Name' field is empty it will show the 'Column Path' Value as a Column Name.

Adding Buttons: 

• To add the Custom button you need to click on the 'Button' icon to create the buttons. After clicking on button, you will see a field name as 'Name' and a checkbox name as 'Close Popup'. Enter the Button name inside the field and click on the checkbox if you want to close the pop-up after clicking on the button in the Oracle service cloud. You can create multiple buttons. Once the buttons are created you will notice on the designer page has changed under the 'Pop Search and Select'  same button is created which you created inside the 'Pop Search and Select' activity. You can add multiple activities on that button to perform the sevreal task on a button click.

You can add multiple activities on that button to perform the several tasks on a button click.
