  1. Flow Development with OData

Trigger Flows from IFS Cloud

There are different options and scenarios for triggering a Flow from IFS. It could be triggered via Event Actions, via projection execution's or Commands. The different scenarios are covered to the following sub sections.

Button commands in IFS Cloud

In IFS cloud there’s no RMB option. Instead, you must use custom buttons, called “commands”, to achieve the same functionality. Button commands can be of different types:

  • Execute Action - Call an existing Method in IFS Cloud.

  • Navigation Link - Provides the functionality to navigate between pages with or without parameters.

  • External Navigation Links - Provides the functionality to navigate to an external URL, with or without parameters.

  • Execute Quick Report - Provides the capability to execute a quick report.

  • Execute Operational Report - Provides the capability to execute an operational report.

  • Execute Workflows - Provides the capability to execute workflows with parameters.
