Tag Attributes

ListName	List name - Required
Target	Grid target name - Required according to context (like any other grid action)
(variable names)	Any unreserved name is valid in XML. Reserved names are listed here: Variables
(Variable Values)	Valid grid column IDs. If a column is not found (invalid column ID), an error is raised, the action fails, the list ends up empty and the loop will do nothing.
Where/WhereAlternate	Unique ID of the column that's used as a filter. The field value in this column is tested against the value set in (where mode). See the example below with OBJECTTYPE column used as a WHERE clause. NOTE: *WhereAlternate* will use the underlying 'alternate value' (always an integer) that exists in some columns as sapio365's 'OBJECTTYPE' or 'STATUS' columns. <Select Lines="ByValue"> <SetVarListFromGridSelection v_ID='id' ListName='list_COUNT' where='OBJECTTYPE' Equals='Message'/>
(Where Mode)	Text: Equals Begins NotBegins NotEquals Contains NotContains IsInString IsNotInString Ends NotEnds IsIn (colon separated list) IsNotIn (colon separated list) Number: GreaterThan GreaterOrEquals LessThan LessOrEquals Date/Time: not supported Examples: - Begins="abcd" - IsIn ="abcd:efgh" true if the value returned by where is "efgh" but false if "ef" - IsInString ="abcdefgh" true if the value returned by where is "cd" but false if "dc"
Unique	True: Only keep unique variable sets "Any variable name": Only keep sets with a unique value for this variable
OrderAscBy	Variable Name on which to order ascendingly (cannot be combined with OrderDescBy)
OrderDescBy	Variable Name on which to order descendingly (cannot be combined with OrderAscBy)
UseAlternateValue	Semicolon Separated ColumnID list: For columns in this list, the value in the output list will be the underlying 'alternate value' (always an integer) that exists in some columns as sapio365's 'OBJECTTYPE' or 'STATUS' columns.
RawFormat	True: Use raw (unformatted) value (otherwise display formatted value is used)

Detailed Description

The variable can be referenced in the script after its declaration with SetVar. To reference a variable, enclose it in: {% and: %}. Variable names are not case-sensitive.

Example Script

<ytriaAutomation Application="sapio365">
	<!-- to be launched from a groups view with a selection of rows -->
	<!-- Generate a List of SetVar from the current selection in the grid:
	- Set list name and target grid (target is not needed in sapio365 or main grids in Notes products)
	- Add variable names connected to grid column unique IDs (GCVD penultimate column) to store grid values into
	In this example "displayName", "groupType", "createdDateTime", "mailEnabled" are column unique IDs from the sapio365 Groups grid:-->

	<SetVarListFromGridSelection ListName="GroupList" GroupName="displayName" Type="groupType" Kreator="createdDateTime" Mail="mailEnabled" OrderAscBy="GroupName"/>
	<!-- loop on the generated list -->
	<loop list="GroupList">
		<ExecuteListAction/> <!-- Does a <SetVar/> with the attributes in SetVarListFromGridSelection except 'ListName' and 'Target' -->
		<echo value="Group {%GroupName%} is of type {%Type%} and was created on {%Kreator%} (mail enabled: {%Mail%})"/>
	</loop>
</ytriaAutomation>
