New List Action Collection

Overview

The New List Action Collection streamlines user interaction within list-based displays in your Salesforce screen flows. This versatile action lets you embed buttons or links directly into list items, offering contextual actions that are relevant to each item in the list.

Benefits

  • Enhanced User Experience: Provide users with convenient access to actions related to specific list items.

  • Intuitive Interface: Enable users to quickly perform actions without navigating away from the list view.

  • Increased Efficiency: Reduce the need for additional screens or steps by embedding actions directly within the list.

  • Visual Clarity: Use icons to visually represent actions, improving the overall readability and usability of the list.

How It Works

  1. Drag and Drop: From the Avonni Actions section in Flow Builder, locate the New List Action Collection and drag it onto your list component (e.g., an Avonni Data Table or a standard List View component).

  2. Configure List Actions:

    • Label: For each action in the collection, define the text label that will appear on the button or link.

    • Icon Name: (Optional) Select an icon from the available library to visually represent the action.

    • Action Type: Choose the type of action you want to trigger (e.g., navigate to a record detail page, initiate an edit action, call a flow element).

    • Action Logic: Configure the specific details of each action, ensuring it's tailored to the context of the list item (e.g., reference the record ID of the current list item).

Settings and Options

  • Label: Customize the text label for each action.

  • Icon Name: Select an icon that aligns with the action's purpose.

Example Use Cases

  • Edit/Update: Provide buttons to quickly edit or update individual records within a list.

  • View Details: Enable users to jump to a detailed view of a specific record.

  • Delete: Offer a delete action for removing items from the list (with appropriate confirmation).

  • Related Actions: Trigger actions related to the list item (e.g., sending an email, changing a status).

  • Custom Actions: Implement any custom flow logic you need, tailored to the list item's data
