A Clear action clears the cells in the workbook for a specified Save Map. It is used when, for example, you are adding a record to an Individual object using a form and you need to clear the cells after each record has been added so you can add the next one. Another example would be when you want to combine process creation and editing in the same app, like quoting.

To create a Clear action

  1. Click on the arrow beneath the Actions button and select Clear from the drop-down. The Clear Fields Action window opens. 
  2. In the Action Name field, type a descriptive name for the action.
  3. To disable excel events while performing display actions, select the Disable Excel Events during execution checkbox.
  4. From the Display / Save Map drop-down, select an existing map.
  5. Click the check box next to the object to be cleared and it will be displayed in Selected Objects.
  6. Click Save. You can select additional Save Maps and objects as necessary.
