Item creation sub task

The Item Creation control is a type of sub-task. A sub-task is a control that has its own element execution flow, similar to an app within the app, where the execution starts and ends within the same user step. To implement it, add an item creation control to a user step and then configure the a sub-task element.

The item creation sub-task control creates a new item each time the sub-task is executed.

Note - The output of the sub-task is available in the steps AFTER the user step where the sub-task is located.

• New text The text to be displayed on the button clicked to add a new item in the sub-task view.

• Title Text on the sub-task button in the user step button.

• Icon Icon on the sub-task button in the user step.

• Target Variable Enter the name of the output variable. The output from the sub-task will be stored in this new table variable.

• Sub Task Text The text on the item that has been created in the sub-task view.

• Pills The indicator on the sub-task button in the user step.

• Condition To Hide

  Specify the condition that must be fulfilled for the control to be hidden. If left unspecified, the control will remain visible in the user step. Note that when controls are hidden, empty variables will be generated unless default values or pre-defined data exist.

• Post-Blurbs Blurbs with Title and Value information, shown the created Item in the sub-task view.

• Reloading behavior

  The control behavior at reloading, see User step reloading.
