Creating a Micro-Action Rule

To use a micro-action in an action and to add a rule for it:

  1. Open the Action properties.
  2. In the toolbar of the Stream Item Action Rules / Micro-Action section:
    • either click 
      Insert excerpt
      _add
      _add
      nopaneltrue
        to create a new micro-action rule. 
    • or click 
      Insert excerpt
      _action_SIA
      _action_SIA
      nopaneltrue
       to open a repository list of streams.
      Expand the branch for the stream, then drag its micro-action into the action properties → Stream Item Action Rules/Micro-action grid.
      Double-click on row of the grid to open the micro-action rule properties. 

Micro-Action Rule Properties

Use the following properties to configure the conditions or rules under which the micro-action will run.

FieldDescription
Stream Item Action/Micro-Action

The name of the micro-action.

To add or change the name, do one of the following:

  • select a micro-action name from the drop-down list of all SIAs in the repository.
  • click 
    Insert excerpt
    _add
    _add
    nopaneltrue
     to create a new one; see Stream Item Actions (SIA)
  • click 
    Insert excerpt
    _action_SIA
    _action_SIA
    nopaneltrue
     to open the repository Streams branch to find a micro-action and drag it in. This makes it     easier to find a micro-action for a specific stream.
Stop if True

If the following expression is true, stop the micro-action from running.??

If the expression is true run this action but do not evaluate any more stream item action rule expressions and do not run any more of the stream item actions.

Expression

Enter an expression.

Details??

The expression should evaluate to true or false and the action will run if true. If the expression is empty this is equivalent to true. Values are true or false according to the same rules as true/false stream attributes, except empty is true (but an expression that evaluates to null or empty string is false).

Order

Specify the order in which this micro-action is listed in the action properties → Stream Item Action Rules/micro-action grid. PhixFlow evaluates the micro-action in order and runs those that evaluate to true in order.
