Actions

Actions are a way to run automations, update data, add new data or delete data.

Often you want to run automations or update data when a user presses a button. This is what actions are for. To define your actions, click the Define actions, a drawer will appear where you can add, or remove actions tied to this component.

Save Row

Saving a row can mean two things, updating or adding a new row. Depending on what you want to do you will have to structure your code differently.

If you're adding a new row the easiest way is to add a Form component. Once you've set that up correctly you add a button to it and select the Save Row action. You then select your form and the table you want to save it to. That's it. An example of how it might look is below.

Save row action in a form

Updating a row can be done in a number of different ways. If you have a structure containing a Data Provider and a Repeater, selecting the repeater as your Data Source will make it so you can correctly get the values from the specific row. To change a field you then take advantage of the add column button that is at the bottom. Click it, select the field you want to change and type in the value you want to change it to (or use a binding). A descriptive image of this is shown below:

Delete Row

This action is used to delete rows from your data source. It's used much in the save way that you would when updating a row.

Execute Query
