soqlDatatable: Configuration

Allow SOQL Datatable on App / Record Page to launch flow / lwc actions

1. Create a Custom Metadata (CMDT) row in Datatable_Config__mdt.

   • Type must be text of "Actions" or "Actions;Lookups" (no quotes).

2. Create a CMDT row in Datatable_Action_Config__mdt.

   • Must Lookup to the Datatable_Config__mdt created in step 1.
   • Follow Page Layout instructions for Type, Order etc.

3. Input the name of the Datatable_Config__mdt into Action Configuration in App Builder.

   • You can reuse the same Datatable_Config__mdt name in Lookup Configuration if you've configured that Type to "Actions;Lookups".

4. Place MessageServiceHandler somewhere on the App / Record Flexipage or the Utility bar (without a name/icon). See the main configuration for details.
