Actions

You can define actions in cells, on buttons, on list views, and on reports. For actions on cells, you can select any action mode. Otherwise, you can select only the modes that are appropriate to the object or report.

You can define multiple actions within a single action definition. In these cases it can be helpful to add a description to each action. Use the Show descriptions button in the toolbar of the Define Action dialog to show or hide the Description column. To add or edit a description, click the browse button in the Description column.

Actions that return a result, such as Select Element, support the Actions Result object. Actions Result contains the result of the current action. In the parameters of an action you can specify Actions.Result.Text as the value of a variable.

When used with the Web Extension action mode, all action types support the Actions Input object. Actions.Input.Text can be assigned as a condition of an action and as the value of an action parameter. Web extensions can be embedded in reports and viewed in the web. Actions Input links a web extension with the report in which it is embedded.
