How to Add Record Count Functoids to a Map

The Record Count functoid enables you to generate a count of the number of times a record occurs in an instance message.

For conceptual information about the Record Count functoid, see Record Count Functoid.

With the Visual Studio Toolbox active, click the Advanced Functoids tab to select that category of functoids.

The list of advanced functoids in the chosen category appears.
Drag the Record Count functoid () from the Toolbox to the appropriate location on a grid page.

Note

The functoid will be placed on the displayed grid page. If you want to put the functoid onto a different grid page, you need to display the other grid page first.

Note

If you are constructing a map using more than one functoid together, you need to consider their relative left to right placement. Functoids are executed from left to right. The output of a functoid can only be input to another functoid that is farther to the right.
To establish the input parameter for the Record Count functoid, create an input link by dragging a looping record from the source schema to the Record Count functoid, or dragging the Record Count functoid to a looping record in the source schema.
To use the output parameter from the Record Count functoid, create an output link by dragging the Record Count functoid to a field in the destination schema, or by dragging a field in the destination schema to the Record Count functoid.

Note

As with other functoids, the output of the Record Count functoid can be used as input to another functoid.
