Role required: ui_builder_admin

About this task

You can add the Screen status changed to dirty event to check which components have unsaved changes. This avoids having to manually inspect advanced properties on events for each individual component. Once added, the event remains available in the configuration panel for direct access.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Now Experience Framework > UI Builder.
2. Open an experience to work in or create an experience by selecting Create > Experience.
   See Configure how users interact with your applications in UI Builder for more information on creating experiences.
3. Create or open a page.
4. In the content tree, select + Add content to add a component.
5. Select a component from the toolbox and select Add.
   For example, select a Button.
6. Add an event to the component.
   1. Select the Events tab in the configuration panel.
   2. Under Button clicked, select Add handler.
   3. Under Choose a handler, enter isDirty (or dirty) into the search bar.
   4. Select the Screen status changed to dirty event and select Continue.
      
   5. Select the Screen is dirty check box to mark the property as true.
   6. Select Add.
   The dirty state event now appears in the configuration panel, enabling you to quickly check the isDirty property and determine if the component has unsaved changes without adding additional events.
