Send Message - Web Action Builder Dialog

The Send Message-Web Action Builder dialog helps you to build a Send Message web action on an object so as to send out a message when the event bound with the action is triggered at runtime. It appears when you select *Send Message and then select OK in the Web Action List dialog.

The following are details about options in the dialog:

Message

Specifies the message that will be sent out.

• 0001 - Filter
  Specifies to send out the built-in Filter message, which will ask the data component who receives the message to filter itself based on the filter condition defined in the message.
• 0002 - Sort
  Specifies to send out the built-in Sort message, which will ask the data component who receives the message to sort itself based on the sort condition defined in the message.
• 0003 - Parameter
  There are two types:
  • Automatic
    Specifies to send out the built-in Parameter message with all the parameter values used in the current library component, which will ask the library component in which the data component that receives the message is to re-run itself using the same parameter values.
  • Customized
    Specifies to send out the built-in Parameter message, which will ask the library component in which the data component that receives the message is to re-run itself using the parameter value defined in the message. In this case, you need to define a parameter with a value.

  For compatibility with earlier versions, the previous 0003 - Parameter message will be converted to the Customized type and 0004 - Parameters to the Automatic type.

• 0004 - On-screen Filter
  Specifies to send out the built-in On-screen Filter message, which will ask the data component who receives the message to filter itself based on the filter condition defined in the message.
• User Defined
  Specifies to send out a user defined message.
  • ID
    Specifies the ID of the message.
  • Name
    Specifies the name of the message.
