The On Save rules are checked when you save a record. Rules are client-side scripts that are executed when a user of the mobile app interacts with the app. Rules are no-code business logic, which are managed using the rules editor, usually in Woodford.
On Save rules are available for the following user interface components:
- Forms
- Editable views
- Questionnaires
Save action
To understand On Save rules, it is important to understand how the saving of records works in Resco mobile apps. This is the order of events when saving:
- User initiate saving process.
- On Save rules are executed.
- The app checks whether the record can be saved (rules may interrupt save).
- If valid, the record is saved.
Display validation problems
There are two built-in string variables that can be used to display validation problems:
- ErrorMessage: A string variable where you can set an error message for form. In the case of On Save event, this stops the saving.
ErrorMessage Assign Web site URL cannot be empty!
- WarningMessage: A string variable where you can set an error message for form. In the case of On Save event, this does not prevent saving, user can decide to continue.
WarningMessage Assign Web site URL is empty! Continue anyway?
Forms
On Save rule on forms usually serves as a final field validation or they can automate changes in related records.
- Rule execution
- When you save a record.
Example: Save changes only when specific data is associated. Blog
Views
On Save rules can be used with views, but only when the Editable field is set. (Editable field, list, or editable grid is a feature that allows users to edit one or more records directly from the view, without a need to go to the form of a record.)
Questionnaires
In inspections, there are two options when to execute On Save rules.
- Rule execution
- When you save the questionnaire
- When you complete the questionnaire
This behavior is configured on the questionnaire level, in the Validate On property.
