The Shuffle Order action.

The Shuffle Order action can be used as an action in the components of your app (like Buttons, Collections, and much more), or it can be triggered along with other actions as part of a Workflow.

Setting up the Shuffle Order Action

In the Layout Editor

  1. Before configuring the action, select the Collection component for which you’d like to trigger this action and navigate to the Options section in the right panel. In the Sort Data section, select Randomly.

  2. Then, click on the plus (+) sign in the Components panel and select the Component you want to trigger the action.

  3. In the General tab on the right side of the Layout Editor, navigate to the Actions section and select Shuffle Order.

  4. Select the icon and descriptive text to use in your app.

  5. You can optionally add Conditions for certain criteria to be met before a user can trigger this action.

In the Workflow Editor

  1. Select the + New Workflow button. If you have existing actions, click on the plus (+) sign in the left panel.

  2. Select the data source for your action.

  3. Configure your first action by clicking the first step in the workflow. You can also add conditions to your actions, if needed.

  4. To add new actions to the flow, hover just underneath an action and click the plus button. In this way you can add the Shuffle Order action as just one step in a larger workflow.

Check the Introduction to Actions page for a full list of components that can be used to trigger actions.
