Show Vehicles Node

The Show Vehicles node displays a list of available vehicle policies to the user as selectable choices. When a user selects a vehicle, the node captures and stores the vehicle details (registration number, policy number, and coverage information) for use in subsequent nodes.

info

To retrieve vehicle information, use the Get Vehicles node before the Show Vehicles node.

Use Case​

Use the Show Vehicles node when you want to:

  • Present a list of customer vehicles for selection in a flow (e.g., choosing a vehicle for a claim or policy inquiry).
  • Capture the customer's selected vehicle and store its details for use in downstream processing.
  • Allow customers to view and interact with their vehicle policies in a user-friendly choice format.

Don't use it when:

  • You need to retrieve vehicle data; use the Get Vehicles node first to fetch the data.
  • The vehicle list is empty or unavailable; ensure Get Vehicles returns results before displaying this node.
  • You need to display vehicles without requiring user selection.

UI Examples​

Behavior​

  • Blocking: the flow pauses until the user selects a vehicle from the list.
  • Requires input: expects vehicle data from the Get Vehicles node passed via the VehiclesData property.
  • Produces output: stores the selected vehicle object and individual vehicle properties (registration number, policy number, machine damage coverage, rental car coverage, coverage code) in the value bag.
  • Renders: displays a list of vehicles as selectable choices in the UI.
  • Validation: ensures the user selects a valid vehicle from the available options; invalid selections trigger a validation message.
  • Output handling: logs access data for each vehicle displayed; returns the chosen vehicle details for use in subsequent nodes.
