            Configure an Edit Block (Managed Package)

            Configure an Edit Block (Managed Package)

            For the managed package runtime, Edit Blocks enable a user to add and edit multiple entries in a single array. For example, you can use an Edit Block to list and edit an Account's list of Contacts. Edit Blocks are repeatable blocks by default. You can prefill repeatable blocks with data by using an array format.

            Managed Package app icon This information is for Omnistudio for Managed Packages. For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see Omnistudio Help.

            Displaying Elements in an Edit Block

            Edit Block displays three elements in the Edit Block's default view and can display additional elements in the edit view. It's possible to hide elements from the edit view.

            • To display an element in the Edit Block's default view, check the checkbox next to the element in the structure panel. The element also appears when editing an entry.

              Example Default View:

              image

            • To display elements only when a user edits an entry, leave the checkbox next to the element in the structure panel unchecked.

              Example Edit View:

              image

            • To hide an element in the Edit Block, click Edit as JSON in the element and set Hide equal to true. For more information, see Hide Omniscript Elements (Managed Package).

            • To display an element only in the Edit Block's default view, check the checkbox next to the element in the structure panel. Then click Edit as JSON in the element and set Hide equal to true. The element displays in the entry's default view and is hidden when editing the entry.

            Note
            Note You can't nest Edit Blocks within other Edit Blocks, and you can add only one level of Block inside an Edit Block. Also, Edit Blocks don’t support the Custom LWC Element.

            Setting Display Modes and Templates

            Enable LWC Omniscripts and Angular Omniscripts to display different Edit Block user interfaces by using LWC Modes and Angular Templates.

            LWC Modes

            Select a Mode in the Edit Block's Edit Block Mode field to change the display and functionality of the Edit Block.

            Table

            The maximum number of elements that you can display as columns is 6.

            Currently, edit blocks configured in table mode in Omniscripts aren't compatible with screen readers. If you use a screen reader, we recommend that you use Flexcards instead of Omniscripts. In Flexcards, you can use data tables or Lightning datatables that are compatible with screen readers. See Show Data in a Table on a Flexcard and Lightning Web Component – Datatable.
