What is it for?

The AQ_FlowOnRefresh container type is used to trigger a Flow when a refresh occurs, for example when a user inputs data into a refresh-enabled field


The AQ_FlowOnRefresh container makes it possible to trigger a flow after refresh within the same page. In this flow you can execute all kind of service types, subflows and repeat flows (pages are not supported).

Parameters

You can define one flow per container, this flow will be started on every refresh attribute that is included in this container.

NameDescriptionType
FlowSelect flow to start on refresh.Flow
ValidationWhen nothing is selected, validation is done before flowingBefore flowing / After flowing

Validation

With this parameter value it is possible to specify the timing of the page validation. Default behavior (when the parameter is not set) is to validate before flowing.

Runtime

When using the FlowOnRefresh in runtime, keep in mind that the started flows will be queued and started one another. In case of executing web-services this can result in long waiting times.

The flow on refresh doesn't support rollback method within the executed flow on refresh.

    If a button on the page has the 'refresh' property, while it also has an associated (flow)event, this event will be ignored if the page contains a FlowOnRefresh container.

  2. We have several of these containers in our model. I was looking for them in the Blueriq application log for the flows that are triggered by these containers but I couldn't find them. Is it possible that these are indeed not logged?

      Hi Daniel Venema, I have created a little test model (in BQ13) to double check this. The flow-on-refresh-flow is logged. For example in the (live) logging of this little test model I see "Starting flow on refresh: FlowOnRefreshFlow". Have also created a support ticket on your behalf to have a closer look at this.
