EASAP Tree: EVENT PROCESSING > ACTION

SET VALUE ACTION may set the value of one or more of the following data entry objects:

Values: must correspond to the syntax of the target object’s Default: parameter.

An empty Values: will clear object values.

SET VALUE ACTION
Essential Parameters:
Objects:	Enter one or more comma separated target GUI object reference(s) to be set
Optional Parameters:
Values:	Enter one or more comma-separated literal strings and/or SCALAR and/or LIST references The number of total elements here must be either 1 or the same number of elements in Objects:
Do if:	Enter a logical expression if true then ACTION performed and not otherwise
Delimiter:	Set a character to delimit object references in Value: Default: %
Fire Value Changed:	Select whether all an EASAP's object values should be updated after action completes Default: FALSE, TRUE

Fire Value Changed: will force the EASAP to update all object data values after SET VALUE ACTION has been executed.

The rules of use are as follows:

• For a single SET VALUE ACTION in an ACTION GROUP,
• Setting Fire Value Changed: TRUE typically is not required
• If the UI is not updating set Fire Value Changed: TRUE
• Check to see the VALUE CHANGED EVENT propagates

• For a sequence of SET VALUE ACTIONs in an ACTION GROUP,
• Set the last Fire Value Changed: TRUE
• Set all other Fire Value Changed: FALSE

This parameter should be used with caution as it introduces the potential for loops.

These rules create the most efficient EASAP user interface as setting every Fire Value Changed: TRUE may lead to unnecessary slowness.
