            Name Screen Input Component

            Let users enter multiple name values with one screen component. Instead of the Name screen component, you can use Text input fields to capture name information, but it takes a lot more configuration.

            Required Editions

            View supported editions.
            A Name component at run time, which lets the flow users enter their first and last name.
            Note
            Note This screen component requires Lightning runtime.

            Configure the Name Component

            You can select resources from the flow, such as variables or global constants, or you can manually enter a value.

            Attribute Description
            API Name

            The API name of the component.

            An API name can include underscores and alphanumeric characters without spaces. It must begin with a letter and can’t end with an underscore. It also can’t have two consecutive underscores.
            Disabled

            If set to true, the user can’t modify the value. The default value is false.

            This attribute accepts a resource with a Boolean value.
            Fields to Display

            By default, the component displays only the First Name and Last Name fields, but other fields are available. To customize which fields to display at run time, set this attribute to a comma-separated list of the field names.

            • For First Name, use firstName
            • For Last Name, use lastName
            • For Middle Name, use middleName
            • For Informal Name, use informalName
            • For Salutation, use salutation
            • For Suffix, use suffix

            This attribute doesn’t control the order that the fields display in.

            For example, to display all the fields, set this attribute to firstName, lastName, middleName, informalName, salutation, suffix.

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.
            First Name

            The value of the First Name field. Setting this attribute prepopulates the field. To use the value that the user enters, store this attribute’s output in a variable.

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.
            Informal Name

            The value of the Informal Name field. Setting this attribute prepopulates the field. To use the value that the user enters, store this attribute’s output in a variable.

            Label

            The label that appears above the name fields.

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.
            Last Name

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.
            Middle Name

            The value of the Middle Name field. Setting this attribute prepopulates the field. To use the value that the user enters, store this attribute’s output in a variable.

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.
            Read Only

            If set to true, the user can’t modify the value, but the user can copy it. The default value is false.

            This attribute accepts a resource with a Boolean value.
            Salutation

            The value of the Salutation field. Setting this attribute prepopulates the field. To use the value that the user enters, store this attribute’s output in a variable.

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.
            Salutation Options

            By default, the options for Salutation are Mr., Mrs., and Ms. To override these options, set this attribute to a comma-separated list of values.

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.
            Suffix

            The value of the Suffix field. Setting this attribute prepopulates the field. To use the value that the user enters, store this attribute’s output in a variable.

            This attribute accepts single-value resources. The value is treated as text.

            Store the Name Component’s Values in the Flow

            The flow stores values automatically. If you store values manually, store the attribute’s output value in a variable.

            To store values manually, select Manually assign variables (advanced).

            All attributes are available to store in flow variables. Most likely, you must store one of these attributes.

            Attribute Description
            First Name

            What the user entered in the First Name field.

            This value can be stored in a single-value Text variable or a Text field on a record variable.
            Informal Name

            What the user entered in the Informal Name field.

            This value can be stored in a single-value Text variable or a Text field on a record variable.
            Last Name

            What the user entered in the Last Name field.

            This value can be stored in a single-value Text variable or a Text field on a record variable.
            Middle Name

            What the user entered in the Middle Name field.

            This value can be stored in a single-value Text variable or a Text field on a record variable.
            Salutation

            What the user entered in the Salutation field.

            This value can be stored in a single-value Text variable or a Text field on a record variable.
            Suffix

            What the user entered in the Suffix field.

            This value can be stored in a single-value Text variable or a Text field on a record variable.
            Tip
            Tip By default, screen components that run on Lightning runtime version 58 and prior have no memory. If a user enters a value, and then does one of the following, the value is lost.
            • Navigates to another screen and returns to the component’s screen.
            • Pauses the flow then resumes it.
            • Navigates to the next screen and triggers an input validation error.

            Setting the attribute enables a flow to remember the value. The flow stores the value automatically. If you store values manually, store the attribute’s output value in a variable.

            Set the Component Visibility

            Specify the logic that determines when the flow displays the component.

            Option Description
            When to Display Component

            Configure when the component is displayed by using conditional logic.

            You can set the components to:

            Always
            Always display the component.
            When all conditions are met (AND)
            Display the component when all of the conditions that you define are met. Define at least one condition.
            When any condition is met (OR)
            Display the component when at least one of the conditions that you define is met. Define at least one condition.
            When custom conditional logic is met
            Display the component when the condition logic that you define is met. Define at least one condition and specify condition logic.

            Validate Input

            Provide a formula that evaluates whether what the user entered is valid and the error message to display if invalid.

            Option Description
            Error Message Specify the error message that appears below the component if the user enters an invalid value.
            Formula

            Provide a formula expression that returns a Boolean value.

            If the formula expression evaluates to true, the input is valid. If the formula expression evaluates to false, the error message appears below the component.

            If the user leaves the field blank and the field isn’t required, the flow doesn’t perform the validation. If the user leaves the field blank and the field is required, the flow shows the default error message and not your custom error message.

            Specify the Behavior of Values on Revisited Screens

            Specify what this component does when a user enters a value, navigates to a previous screen, and then returns to the screen with this component.

            Option Description
            Use values from when the user last visited this screen The component retains the values that the user specified and doesn’t update the values to reflect changes made on previous screens.
            Refresh inputs to incorporate changes elsewhere in the flow

            The component updates the user-specified values to reflect changes made on previous screens.

            If you pause and then resume the flow, the flow retains user-specified values only in Checkbox, Checkbox Group, Currency, Long Text Area, Multi-Select Picklist, Number, Password, Picklist, Radio Buttons, and Text components.
