BackEndAction Logic

One of the action you can add to ResultMatrix is a button which will navigate users to another page to perform an action with the list of items selected from the matrix.

To perform the action, there has to be a definition of the action – it is either a deep link or a context link. The BackEndAction logic is called to retrieve the definition.

Logic API

• Logic Nature: generic (null)

  • Logic Type: Calculation/Pricing

• Execution Types

  • Standard – Logic is only executed via normal execution.

• Information provided to the logic

  • Inputs:

    • InputMatrix input with a list of items selected in the ResultMatrix. The name of this input is set when calling the rowSelectionBackEndAction() method.

• Expected logic execution outcome

  • The first visible element (with Display Mode = Everywhere) is expected to return a Map with definition of the action link. It can be either deep link or context link. See the code sample below.

  • If the logic fails with an exception:

    • Redirection to another page will not happen.

    • The frontend can display an error which was set via withFailureMessage().

Code Samples

Example of BackEndAction logic:

def products = api.inputMatrix('productsDataSet', 'sku')

return [
  targetPage     : AppPages.QC_NEW_QUOTE,
  targetPageState: [
    targetPageItems: products.collect { it -> return it.sku },
    targetPageTab: 'items'
]

Example of a logic to build the Result Matrix which creates the action button calling the BackEndAction logic:

def products= api.find("P", 0, 10, null, ["sku", "label", "currency"])

def resultMatrix = api.newMatrix().withColumnFormats([
        "sku"  : FieldFormatType.TEXT,
        "label":FieldFormatType.TEXT,
        "currency": FieldFormatType.TEXT
]).withRows(products);

resultMatrix.rowSelectionBackEndAction("productsDataSet")
        .withLogicName("BackEndActionLogic")
        .withColumns("sku")
        .withButtonLabel("New Quote")

return resultMatrix
