Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Behavior | |
| Use default success handler | If checked, on successful logout, the user is redirected to the Home/Login page as configured. If custom logic is required, uncheck this property and implement the logic under the onSuccess event of the Action NOTE: If the property is checked, the configured events will not be triggered. |
| In Flight Behavior | This property determines the behavior when a call is fired through the variable with the previous call still pending. Action queues all these calls, waits for the previous call completion and then based on the value of the inFlightBehavior property, decides what to do with all the queued calls: - doNotExecute - all the queued calls will be discarded, - executeAll - all the calls will be triggered one by one, or - executeLast - only the last call is triggered and the rest are discarded, this is the default behavior |
| Redirect To | Page to be displayed after logout, can be the main page or the login page |
| Spinner | |
| Spinner Context | This property specifies on which UI widget the spinner should show. Leave empty if no spinner required. |
| Spinner Message | The message to be displayed below the spinner. Leave empty if no message is required below the spinner. |
note
If multiple actions are fired then the spinner messages will be displayed as a list below a single spinner.
Events
During the life cycle of a Variable, a set of events are emitted by the Variable, thus giving you the option to control the behavior of the Variable such as input data validations, data processing, success/error handling, etc. Know More.
