In Salesforce, Record Types are a way of grouping many records of one type for that object. These can be applied to any standard or custom object and allow you to have a different page layout, fields, required fields, and picklist values.
We can also display these record types in the form of a radio button in the Salesforce Screen flow when you are creating a new record in that object with screen flow. In this Salesforce tutorial, we will learn to Use and Create Flow Screen Radio Button in Salesforce.
Use and Create Flow Screen Radio Button in Salesforce
To display a Record-type in radio button on a Salesforce Screen flow, we will create a screen flow and, for that, navigate to the setup page of Salesforce and follow the below steps.
1. On Salesforce’s Setup page, go to the Quick Find box and search, then select Flows under Process Automation.
2. Click on the New Flow button in the flows setup window.
3. Select the option Screen flow and click Create.
4. Add a Screen element to the flow.
5. Enter a relevant Label and API Name to the Screen element.
6. Now add a radio button component to the screen, and enter the Label and API Name for the radio button component. After this, select the Data type as Text.
7. Scroll down to the Choice field and click on New Choice Resource.
8. In the new choice resource, select the Resource Type as Record Choice Set. Then, enter the resource’s API name and select Object as Record Type.
9. In the Condition requirements of New Resource, select the Field as SObjectType, Operator as Equals, and for the Value, select the object in which you want to display the record type on screen flow. In this case, the Object is Opportunity.
10. Under the heading Configure each choice, select the Choice label as Name, Data type as Text, and Choice Value as Record Type Id (ID). Then, click Done to save the new resource.
11. Now, we have created the choice set for the record types. At last, click Done to save the screen element.
12. At completing the flow, save it with the relevant Flow Label and click the Save button.
The flow is completed, now, we will test and debug the flow in the further steps.
Test and debug the screen flow
Now, we will test and debug the flow to check whether the screen flow is displaying the record types in the radio buttons.
1. Click on the Debug button in the Flow Builder.
2. In the debug window, click on the Run button.
3. Here, we can see that record types are displayed as radio buttons in the flow.
4. Finally, to use the flow in the developer console, you must activate it from the Activate button.
This is how we can display the Record types as radio buttons in the Salesforce screen flow to create records while creating records using Screen flow.
Conclusion
In Salesforce, while creating the records using the Salesforce Screen flow, you might need to create new records with separate record types. By adding the record type in a screen flow as radio buttons, we can choose the record types for the new records.
