NUX, two data write actions in one button?

Hi,

I am trying to create a support ticketing dashboard. I need one button to do two things: 1. Submit? boolean to equal true, 2. Change the status to submitted.

It shows two buttons. Is it possible to make both actions under 1 button?

I need the "sync on selection" to select the ticket to apply these edits.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Anaplan does not support a sync that goes from NUX to backend like that. We need it to be manual input. All we can do is Provide the users a Selector for input and use a Boolean to drive the actions. I would suggest doing it with the 2 actions as you have already set up as it provides a better user friendly interface [Lesser clicks and scrolling time].

Thank you!

Combine Actions into a Process:
- Go to the Actions tab in the Model Settings.
- Create a new Process.
- Add both actions (Update Submit? and Update Status) to this process in the order you want them executed.
Create a Button for the Process:
- In your dashboard, add a button and link it to the process you created.
- This button will now execute both actions sequentially when clicked.

Thank you for your reply.

These actions were created as "data writes" in the UX, not as actions actions.

Can your method still work? If so, how would I create these data write actions?

Thanks

UX does not natively support combining multiple data write actions into a single button, you can use a workaround by creating a process that includes both actions and then triggering this process from the UX ( Create two line items: Submit? (Boolean) and Status (Text/List). Develop two actions: Update Submit?, which sets Submit? to TRUE, and Update Status, which changes Status to "Submitted." Combine these actions into a single process named Submit Ticket Process.)

I hope this helps!

But I would need the sync on selection.

I would need to select the specific "ticket" (from list) by clicking on it and then apply the actions.

Would your fix work? How could I apply actions to only the selected (clicked on) list item?

Thank you

@anurag0911 Got it thank you. I wish anaplan did. Having two or more buttons doesn't work from a design perspective.
