Tutorial 04: Create a List

Introduction

This tutorial is about

How to create an example list, where you can see person data sets.

This tutorial is relevant for

Automation Experts who want to learn how to create lists in applications and use them to enhance data management and user interaction functionalities like: Data organization, dynamic content display, data manipulation and access, workflow and process management, batch operations and many more.

Prerequisites

You need to have a developer account in a PIPEFORCE customer or trial instance.

PIPEFORCE instance should have version 9.5 or higher.

If you don’t have an account yet, just request it here: https://pipeforce.io/jetzt-testen/.

Basic understanding of PIPEFORCE as described in Tutorial 01: Basic Concepts.

Step 1: Create your list

Create an app with a new form inside (see Tutorial 03: Create a Form ).

When you submit the form, the data of the form will be automatically stored for you in PIPEFORCE, but you can't see it yet. In this step we want to display this data using a list. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Login to your portal https://YOUR_NAMESPACE.pipeforce.net.

  2. Navigate to AUTOMATION → Properties.

  3. Select your app node in the property tree, and click the plus icon “+” at the top.

  1. Select List Config

  1. Then Name your List. Do use only lower case letters and don’t use special characters or spaces!

  1. Click Create.

Step 2: Open your list

The list property has been created for you and pre-configured using the person schema you created in the last tutorial. Now, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to All Apps

  2. Click on your app.

  3. Click on “person”

  4. You should now see all the person datasets added before using your form:

You can also search and sort the list.

Done. Congratulations!
