Have a five step wizard and the fifth step is a page include. When that page loads, I want an action sequence to run. I see that action sequence can be triggered by Skuid : Page Rendered, but how do I trigger that event without that action sequence running on all wizard tabs?

Hello @Brian_G !


Is it possible for you to share the XML so I can try to help reproduce and fix your issue?


Also, here is a helpful doc that could help you out as well.


Thanks,


Hi @Germany3 . I don’t see a link to the doc you mentioned.

As far as the XML, just take a simple example of a five step wizard. How do I get an action sequence or snippet to run only when step5 loads? I haven’t been able to find anywhere how to solve for that, so don’t have any sample code in that regard.

Appreciate the help!

@Brian_G


event-triggered action sequences could work. Also, on the button that navigates to step 5, you could add whatever actions you want to run.


In addition, you can trigger the AS when hitting “next” to get to step five.


let me know if that helps.


@Germany so the problem is that step five has a page include, so I need the action to run when step5 and page include renders, so can’t put the action on step4 button.


For example, from the doc



but how do I trigger AS only to run when step5 Skuid Page: Rendered event is published, as other steps have page includes as well.


@Brian_G to clarify, what page do are you reffereing to when you say When that page loads,.are you talking about the page with the tabs or the page includes a page in the tab?


@Germany here is the base setup of my flow:


5 step wizard:


Step1 - field editors


Step2 - field editors


Step3 - field editors, button that opens popup with page include


Step4 - field editors, button that opens popup with page include


Step5 - page include


When the page include on step5 opens, I need an action/snippet to run that uses and updates data from the page include


Seems like you could add the on page render action sequence to the included page, not the parent page. Then, each time the parent page loads the page include, it will kick off the page render action sequence.


@Skuidward_Tentacles that’s the part I can’t figure out - how to set that up. To add a bit of complexity, the page rendered is used elsewhere, too, and the action I want to run within this flow would not run when the page is rendered from the base pages.


update - actually, that may not be a concern, as I can have the action only run if a particular piece of data shown on the screen is not updated. I still don’t understand, though, how to set up this - “add the on page render action sequence to the included page”


On the page that is being included (not the parent), edit that page and ad an event triggered action sequence set to “Skuid Page Rendered”. You could even create a new page and leave it mostly blank other than the action sequence then add that page include as well to your wizard step. Here is an article on action sequences.
