Adding Validation to an Integrated Excel Workbook 12-3
An alternative approach to returning error message summaries generated by action sets invoked on a worksheet is to set {worksheet.errors} as the value for an
action set’s Alert.FailureMessage property. This approach displays the generated error message summary in a dialog.
Components such as the ADF Table and ADF Read-only Table components that have actions which interact with the Fusion web application can also return error message
summaries. Set the following EL expression for the Value property of the ADF Output Text component or for an action set’s Alert.FailureMessage property:
{components.componentID.errors} where componentID refers to the ID of the component ADF Table or ADF Read-only
Table component that invokes the action. The EditPriceList-DT.xlsx file in the Master Price List module of the Fusion
Order Demo application demonstrates how to return error message summaries generated by action sets invoked on a worksheet and by the actions of an ADF Table
component. Figure 12–1
shows these EL expressions in design mode.

12.4.2 Error Reporting Using Component Actions
ADF Desktop Integration provides actions that display error details generated by an ADF Table component or an integrated Excel worksheet.
The action set in which you invoke one of these actions must include only one action. In general, action sets clear error labels and message lists when invoked. An action set
that invokes one of the following actions returns error labels and message lists to the end user:
■
Worksheet’s DisplayWorksheetErrors action To display a worksheet’s error messages, configure the action set of a component
on the worksheet or the worksheet ribbon button to invoke this action. For example,
Figure 12–2 shows the Action Collection Editor dialog configuring the
DisplayWorksheetErrors action as a DoubleClickActionSet item for an ADF Output Text component on the worksheet.

At runtime, double-clicking the ADF OutputText component invokes the DisplayWorksheetErrors action as shown in
Figure 12–3 .

For more information about the Worksheet’s DisplayWorksheetErrors action, see
Section A.13, Worksheet Actions and Properties.
■
ADF Table component’s DisplayRowErrors action To display row-level failures that occur in an ADF Table component, invoke this
action. Row-level failures occur when end user invokes the following actions:
– Upload
– DeleteFlaggedRows
– DoubleClickActionSet invoked from an ADF Table component column
For more information about using this action, see Section 12.5, Providing a
Row-by-Row Status on an ADF Table Component.

ADF Table component’s DisplayTableErrors action
Adding Validation to an Integrated Excel Workbook 12-5
To display table-level failures that occur in an ADF Table component, invoke this action. It is not intended that an ADF Table component column’s
DoubleClickActionSet invoke this action. Instead add this action to an action set that returns error messages to end users when failures occur during invocation
of the action binding specified by an ADF Table component’s BatchOptions.CommitBatchActionID property.
At runtime, double-clicking the ADF OutputText component invokes the DisplayTableErrors action as shown in
Figure 12–4 .

Table Component Properties and Actions.
