Add and Configure Actions

To integrate information retrieved from a DataSource into a List, field mapping actions are performed. This process ensures accurate data merging by setting a common field as a Key between the DataSource and List records. Through this mapping, data from various sources can be effectively consolidated and managed.

What is Key?

A common value used to merge data from the DataSource into the List.

Action Mapping Notes

  • DataSource Field

    Displays the fields from the object specified in the DataSource. These fields provide the source data to be integrated into the List.

  • List Field

    Displays the fields from the object specified in the List Configurator. These fields serve as the destination for mapping the DataSource data.

  • Virtual Field

    Displays virtual columns created in the List. These fields allow for displaying additional data derived from the DataSource without modifying the original object structure.

🔸 Example

You want to display the price from the PricebookEntry object alongside a product list configured with Product2 in the List.

  1. Search for and select PricebookEntry in the DataSource.

  3. To merge data for the matching PricebookEntry record:

    1. Click the edit button in the Key row.

    2. In the popup, configure the following, then save:

      • DataSource Field: Product2Id

      • List Field: Id

  4. To display the UnitPrice from PricebookEntry in the List:

    1. Create a virtual column (e.g., SBLS_Virtual1) in the Datatable Setup.

    2. Click the Add Action button.

    3. In the popup, configure the following, then save:

      • DataSource Field: UnitPrice

      • Virtual Column: SBLS_Virtual1
