Add New Object

The Add New Object task allows you to dynamically create a new row of data in a table or display a new set of data in the Functional View (FV) component. When executed, this task interacts with the data source to generate and populate a new data entry, enhancing flexibility in data handling and real-time updates.

Common Uses:

  1. Dynamic Data Entry in Banking Applications:
    • Loan Applications: Add a new row to input multiple co-applicants’ details in the loan processing table.
    • Transaction Records: Insert new entries dynamically for batch processing of financial transactions.
  2. Data Collection and Management:
    • Customer Onboarding: Allow bank staff to add multiple address records or contact details while registering a new customer.
    • Audit Logs: Append new actions or events in the audit trail table for compliance purposes.

This task is especially beneficial for workflows requiring frequent updates to tables or lists, ensuring seamless interaction with the underlying data.

Configuration

When you create a task, its configuration page opens in which you define its basic and advanced properties. These are as follows:

Task TypeThe Task Type indicates what kind of task you are creating. This is a read-only field since you select the type when you create the task and cannot change it during the configuration stage.
Reference NameThe Reference Name acts as a unique internal identifier for the task. This is visible to vFlow users for ease of reference but is hidden from end users. This allows users of the platform to manage and differentiate between tasks conveniently.
NameThe name defined here will be displayed to the end user.
DescriptionThe Description field is intended for use by application designers or administrators (vFlow users) to provide additional context or details about the task group. This description is not visible to end-users and is used solely for internal reference to assist with task management.
