How to send a collection of objects from OpenUi to Agentry.

I am using CollectionDisplayModel in my iOS class.

Sending data back to Agentry from OpenUI is done through the external value mappings.  The OpenUI control can make data available to Agentry for use in rules, screens and transactions by defining an external value which when accessed from Agentry will trigger code in the OpenUI control to return the value to Agentry.

In terms of having the OpenUI control "send" data.  At a high level, the process will be:

1) Map External Value to the control

2) Map Action(s) to the control

3) Within the control, trigger the Agentry action which will in turn run an Agentry transaction that reads the external values from the control and writes the data to the Agentry objects.

Thank U Bill;

Can you explane with more information about with this 3 steps.

1) Map External Value to control

2) Map Action(s) to the control

3) Within the control, trigger the Agentry action which will in turn run an Agentry transaction that reads the external values from the control and writes the data to the Agentry objects.

You mean Get External values from OpenUI and mapping to object with rules? is it the only way getting data is external values?
