Parameters

You can add parameters by right clicking onto the parameters folder in the tree and selecting Add Parameter.

Add Parameter

This will add a line beneath the parameters node, and you can define the parameter needed.

New Parameter

You will need to list the name and for the value you can either hard code a value or you can use a placeholder for the value to be injected at run time. Note that the name will be reflected in the tree under the parameter folder.

PageSize Parameter Example​

Parameters can act as definitions for placeholders within other functions of the XML document. For example you can define a parameter for the page size of the paging requests. This would look like:

<Parameters>
    <Parameter name="URL" value="https://demo.online.simego.com" />
    <Parameter name="PageSize" value="10" />
</Parameters>

And would be referenced in the request with the place holder {PageSize}.

For example in the GetDataTable function and within the Fetch request of the PagingRequest node shown below:

<Action name="GetDataTable">
    <!-- First get a List of Supplier ID values -->
    <Fetch url="{URL}/app/list/suppliers?columns=SupplierID&amp;limit=1000">
        <!-- For Each SupplierID get the related Products -->
        <ForEach path="data">
            <!-- Handle Paging for the Product List -->
            <PagingRequest path="data" start="1" next-path="nextpage">
              <Fetch url="{URL}/app/list/products?filter=SupplierID%20eq%20{$SupplierID}&amp;limit={PageSize}&amp;page={PagingRequest.Page}">
                <DataTableTransform path="data" />
              </Fetch>
            </PagingRequest>
        </ForEach>
    </Fetch>
</Action>
