Processing record selection

Record lists allow you to enable record selection, allowing you to perform automation over a series of records.

Workflow configuration

To configure a workflow which supports record selection:

  1. navigate to the Workflow application and either create or edit a workflow,

  2. add a trigger with a resource of either Compose Page or Compose Record,

The workflow receives a selected scope variable which defines a list of selected record IDs. To examplify; the selected scope variable may contain a list of [ '1111', '2222', …​, 'nnnn' ].

You can use an item iterator to traverse through the list of selected records. From there you can use functions and expressions to implement your feature.

Low Code configuration

Make sure you already have some automation which can be used by the record list. Refer to workflow configuration for details.
