To maintain Action Groups (Relations)

An action group consists of a parent action and one or more member actions. The action group is referenced by the name of the parent action.

To set up an action group, take the following steps:

  1. The LN super user can create a new action that will function as the parent action.
  2. Assign member actions to the action group, with the use of the Relations (dmcom0131m000) session. An LN super user can assign these member actions.

The parent action is now created with the use of the Actions (dmcom0530m000) session, which can otherwise be accessed directly, as explained previously, or from the following Relations (dmcom0131m000) session.

Note

The actions in an action group do not have to be from the same object type.

To view members of a parent action

On the Object Data Management menu, double-click ODM Configuration > Authorizations > Relations (dmcom0131m000).

The Relations (dmcom0131m000) session starts, which includes a list of actions that are already members of the action group shown in the Action Group field.

Alternatively, you can also choose the action for which you want to maintain members. To choose the action, on the appropriate menu, click Members by Action.
