List Activities
Last modified: November 21, 2024
Introduction
List activities work differently in microflows and in nanoflows. In nanoflows, changes done to the lists in a sub-nanoflow are not reflected in the original nanoflow, whereas in microflows, such changes are reflected.
When working with the Mendix Platform, you can use microflows to manipulate not only single objects but whole lists of entities with a single activity.
Additional activities which work on lists, commit object(s), delete object(s), and retrieve, are in the Object Activities section of the toolbox. You can also loop through a list to perform activities on the individual objects.
The activities described in this document are in the List Activities section of the Toolbox.
The following are the list activities you can use in your microflow or nanoflow:
- Aggregate List – calculates aggregated values over a list
- Change List – adds objects to, and removes objects from a list
- Create List – creates an empty list
- List Operation – performs actions on a list and, if the result is a list, returns a new list containing the result
