Access imported agents in a published Domino app

Note

The information in this topic applies starting with the Volt MX Go version 2.0.3 release.

Agents are stand-alone programs that perform a specific task in one or more Domino databases. Agents are the most flexible type of automation you can add to most design elements in a Domino application. To learn more, see Agents in the HCL Domino Designer documentation.

Note

As of Volt MX Go release v2.0.4, only agents meeting the following conditions can be imported using Design Import:

  • The agent's trigger type configuration is action menu selection.
  • The agent's document setting is configured to All.

You can include agents in the import when importing a Domino application using Design Import. These agents are imported as actions and are available in all the views on the imported Domino application.

About this task

Guides you on accessing and using imported agents in a published Domino app.

Before you begin

  • You have imported a Domino application, including agents, using Design Import to a Web App project in Volt MX Go Iris.

    Note

    Agents are currently not supported for Native App projects.

  • You have published the imported Domino application using Volt MX Go Iris and opened the published application.

Procedure

For this procedure, the steps will be based on an example Domino application with agents capable of modifying the region assignment of customers. Although the example Domino application and its agents will differ from your imported Domino application and its agents, the process of accessing and executing the agents will be the same. 

  1. Upon opening the published application in a browser, you will see the Dashboard. From the Dashboard, click a view. In the example image, we will click the Customer B ByRegion view.
