Input Attributes | Input Attributes are displayed as form fields on the Workflow Popup, which a user fills out within LearningBuilder. | Input Attributes must be present as data columns in the uploaded file. |
Display Attributes | Display Attributes (e.g. properties of the “reference entity”) can be displayed as read-only fields on the form, to provide additional context to the user. | Display Attributes have no meaning to a Data Import Step. Only editable fields can be modified via file upload. |
Dirty Form Detection | System warns / prevents user from submitting a Workflow Popup if the underlying data has changed since the popup was opened. | System does NOT do any dirty form detection. Values in the incoming file are always treated as valid and not “stale”. |
Attribute Visibility | Input fields can be conditionally visible, hiding them from certain users or when certain criteria are met. | Attribute visibility has no meaning to a Data Import Step. |
Validation Warnings | Warnings are presented to the user, who is given an option to ignore them and continue anyways. | Warnings are treated as errors and prevent a file row from being processed. |
Step Sections | Complex forms can be broken into multiple “sections”, creating a tabbed interface in the Workflow Popup. | Sections have no meaning to Data Import Steps. By definition, import steps always have one, and only one, Section. |
