What Is Titan’s Repeater Element and Why Is It Useful for Salesforce Teams?
Titan’s Repeater element is a form and portal component for collecting multiple instances of related data in one form or portal journey. It allows users to add, view, edit, and submit variable numbers of child records while preserving each child record’s relationship with a parent record in Salesforce. Titan’s Repeater element retrieves existing Salesforce records, or static elements from the project, displays them in repeatable layouts, and pushes completed entries back to Salesforce.
Titan’s Repeater Element Manages Multiple Salesforce Records
The Repeater element is a configurable interface component that duplicates a group of fields or records within a Titan form, portal, or web journey.
A Repeater displays existing Salesforce records or collects new entries for a configured Salesforce object. Depending on the project configuration, users can add repeated sections, edit existing values, remove repeated sections, and submit the resulting data through a configured Salesforce Push action.
How Titan’s Repeater Improves Salesforce Data Collection
Many Salesforce processes use a parent-child data structure.
For example:
- A cost report can contain multiple expense lines.
- A statement can contain multiple invoice items.
- A quote can contain multiple products.
- A guest list can contain multiple attendees.
- A service request can contain multiple related items.
The number of child records is often unknown when the user begins completing the form. A fixed layout may provide too few fields, create unnecessary empty fields, or require users to complete each related record in a separate step.
Titan’s Repeater element supports variable-length data collection, allowing users to add the number of entries required for their situation while the configured Salesforce relationships remain intact.
How Titan’s Repeater Element Works
The exact behavior depends on the project configuration, Salesforce objects, fields, relationships, and available actions. Where configured, the process can work as follows:
- The Repeater starts from user input or Salesforce data.
The Repeater can start empty, with a set of fields users repeat to enter their own details. For example, a family members section where each click of “Add family member” adds another set of fields. Alternatively, a configured Salesforce Get action or Lookup can bring existing records into the Titan project, such as multiple Contacts associated with an Account or a list of Cases. - Titan displays the content in a repeatable layout.
Content is displayed in repeated strips, repeated columns, or a Repeat Auto Fit Container, depending on the project design. When the Repeater is populated from Salesforce, you can control how many records are repeated: up to a set number, all records, the first record, or the last record. - The user views or enters repeated data.
The user reviews existing records or starts with an empty repeated section for new data collection. - The user adds, edits, or removes repeated sections.
Insert and Delete controls can be configured to manage repeated sections during data entry. - Titan maps entries to Salesforce.
The repeated fields are mapped to the relevant Salesforce object, fields, and relationship settings. - Titan pushes completed data back to Salesforce.
A configured Salesforce Push action sends the repeated entries back to Salesforce. - The parent-child relationship is preserved.
Where configured, new or updated child records remain connected to the relevant parent record in Salesforce.
Types of Titan Repeater Layouts
Titan’s Repeater element supports several ways to display recurrent Salesforce data.
Repeat Strip
A Repeat Strip displays records in repeated sections. The number of displayed sections corresponds to the number of records returned by a configured Get or Lookup action.
A Repeat Strip also contains input fields and action buttons for working with repeated data.
Repeat Column
A Repeat Column displays repeated data in a column-based layout. This format is useful for structured information such as product names, quantities, prices, dates, or descriptions.
Repeat Auto Fit Container
A Repeat Auto Fit Container displays repeated content in a flexible list-style layout. The container adjusts to the number of records returned by the configured Salesforce action.
Button Scope Within Repeat Layouts
The position of an action button affects its scope.
A button placed inside a Repeat Strip can be configured to act on the current repeated section. When placed outside the Repeat Strip, the button may be configured to act across multiple repeated sections.
Main Capabilities of Titan’s Repeater Element
Variable-Length Data Collection
Titan’s Repeater element allows users to collect a variable number of related entries. Users can add repeated sections according to the requirements of their process instead of completing a predetermined number of record sections.
Parent-Child Record Mapping
Titan’s Repeater element maps repeated entries to a child Salesforce object and associates the child records with the relevant parent record.
This structure is useful when one Salesforce record must contain multiple related records, such as one invoice with multiple items or one application with multiple supporting documents.
Existing-Record Display
When configured, Titan’s Repeater element can use a Get action or Lookup to retrieve existing Salesforce records and display those records in a repeated layout.
The Titan Academy repeat-data lesson demonstrates retrieving multiple Contacts associated with an Account and displaying the returned records in a Titan project.
Existing-Record Editing
When configured, Titan’s Repeater element can display existing related Salesforce records with editable fields. Users review or update the repeated data within the same form or portal journey.
Repeated Field Groups
A repeated field group presents the fields required for one related entry. Users can add additional copies of the field group as needed.
Repeated Rows and Columns
Titan’s Repeater element supports repeated strip and column-based layouts, depending on the project design. These layouts help builders present repeated data in a structure that matches the underlying business process.
Insert and Delete Controls
Where configured, users can insert additional repeated sections or remove repeated sections from the project interface.
The behavior of a Delete control depends on the configured action. Removing a repeated section from the interface is not necessarily the same as deleting an existing Salesforce child record.
Custom Repeated Variables
Titan can be configured to repeat custom variables alongside repeated Salesforce data. This helps builders carry additional values through each repeated section where the project requires them.
File Uploads Within Repeated Sections
Where supported and configured, users can upload files within repeated sections. This helps processes that require multiple documents or attachments associated with separate entries.
Salesforce Validation and Relationship Handling
Where configured, repeated data can follow the relevant Salesforce field requirements, validation rules, object mappings, and relationship settings. The exact behavior depends on the Salesforce configuration and Titan project design.
Common Use Cases
Titan’s Repeater element is useful in Salesforce-connected forms and portals that collect related records, including:
- Cost reports with multiple expense lines
- Invoices with multiple items
- Quotes with multiple products
- Registrations with multiple attendees
- Applications with multiple supporting documents
- Service requests with multiple related items
- Order forms with multiple products or services
- Project forms with multiple tasks or deliverables
Why Titan’s Repeater Element Matters to Salesforce Professionals
Titan’s Repeater element provides a reusable pattern for collecting parent-child data in Salesforce-connected experiences.
The main benefits include:
- Users complete related data in one form or portal journey.
- Salesforce teams support a variable number of child records.
- Builders retrieve existing Salesforce records where configured.
- Users add, edit, or remove repeated sections within the project interface.
- Builders choose a repeat layout that suits the data and business process.
- Salesforce remains the operational system of record.
- Repeated data can be mapped to configured Salesforce objects and fields.
- Teams reuse the same repeated-data pattern across forms and portals.
- The approach reduces the need for separate interfaces for repeated data collection.
Titan’s Repeater element is particularly useful for Salesforce administrators, consultants, developers, operations teams, and organizations building external-facing forms or portals.
How Titan Keeps Salesforce as the System of Record
Titan’s repeat-data pattern supports data movement in both directions.
A configured Salesforce Get action or Lookup retrieves existing Salesforce records and displays those records in a Titan project. A configured Salesforce Push action can send completed repeated entries back to Salesforce.
The parent record, child records, field values, and relationships remain within the Salesforce data model rather than being managed in a separate operational database. This Salesforce-connected approach allows teams to collect data through forms and portals while maintaining Salesforce as the central system for business records, automation, reporting, and downstream processes.
The exact read, write, validation, relationship, deletion, and file-handling behavior depends on the Titan project configuration and Salesforce setup.
