1 Introduction

The create-object action can be used to create an object.

{{% alert type="info" %}}

See Microflow Element Common Properties for properties that all microflow activities share (for example, caption). This page only describes the properties specific to the action.

{{% /alert %}}

2 Action Properties

2.2 Refresh in Client

This property specifies whether pages that use the entity of the object being created are refreshed.

Option	Description
Yes	Objects of same entity are refreshed in the user's browser.

{{% alert type="warning" %}}
