Refresh

When the user enters a new value in a drop-down list or in a text field, all attributes that use that value in their computation are refreshed.

This refresh involves a trip to the server.

Sometimes, however, the benefit of having an updated value does not compensate for the delay incurred in having to wait for that value. If that is the case, the system allows you to set the “refresh” flag to “no”. This means that the dependent attribute value is not refreshed. By default the "refresh" flag is set to "yes".

The refresh flag can be added to the following actions:

  • <assign>
  • <select>
  • <clear>
