You can add multiple operations when configuring Functions or defining the Programming section of Actions and Triggers.
Alloy Navigator supports the following types of operations:
-
Update Field - assigns a value to an object field. For details, see Update Field.
-
E-mail Notification - specifies an E-mail Notification to be sent. For details, see E-mail Notification.
-
Push Notification - specifies a Push Notification to be sent. For details, see Push Notification.
-
Execute Function - specifies a Function to be executed. For details, see Execute Function.
-
Create Object - creates a new object and performs any operations on the newly created object. For details, see Create Object.
-
Act on Related Object - performs operations on related objects. For details, see Act on Related Object.
-

NOTE: All operations except for E-mail Notifications are executed in the order they appear in the list. To reorder operations, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
For a complex workflow configuration that involves the creation and modification of other objects, you may need to use variables. A variable in Alloy Navigator is a named item for holding a single data value. You can use variables to pass values to other operations within the Function or the Programming section of the Action or Trigger.
-
Declare Variable - declares a variable.
-
Set Variable - assigns a value to the variable.
