Using Hooks in a Form

You can fetch values dynamically from a data source such as a database, device or external systems by using hooks. You can either select hooks from the existing list or create a new hook.

Hooks are of three types:

  • Script: The form builder allows you to define one or more ‘associate scripts’ and map them against the relevant form field. The associate script acts as an abstract layer which enables linking of the data retrieved from the query and maps them against appropriate fields within the form.
  • REST API (Internal & External API): REST API allows querying the database, device or external systems
  • Query Explorer.
