| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the Stream Action. |
| Display Name | The name that will be used to display this action on a Stream View |
| Stream Name | The name of the parent Stream that this action belongs to |
| Form View | This dropdown list shows all Form Views associated with this stream. If a Form View is selected then it will be presented prior to this action being run to allow the user to enter values to be used in Context Parameter, Validation, Filter or Action Attribute expressions. These values are referenced in those expressions by preceding the field name from the form with '_prompt'. For example if there is a field on the form with the label "Name" then the value entered in that field by the user can be referenced in subsequent expressions as _prompt.Name. |
| File Upload | A Check box to determine whether a Tag Expression field is displayed. The tag expression can refer to any values entered on the Form View using the notation _prompt.<Form Field Name>, the values of any Context Parameters using the notation _context.<ContextParameter Name> and any attributes of any records selected on the view or dashboard from which the action was initiated using the notation <View name or alias>.<Attribute name or alias>. If a tag expression is provided then when the action is run a file explorer dialog will appear to allow the user to navigate to a directory and select one or more files. These files will be uploaded to the File Upload Directory specified in the System Configuration table and tagged with the evaluated value of this tag expression so that they can be retrieved later by suitably configured File Collector. List of names of uploaded files can be accessed through <i>_files</i> variable. |
| Run Selected TaskPlan | A Check box to determine whether a combo box is displayed which is then used to allow the user to choose a task plan to be run. Any expression evaluated during this task plan can reference any Context Parameter. |
| Open Post Dashboard | A Check box to determine whether a combo box is displayed which is then used to allow the user to choose a dashboard to be opened once the action has completed. Any filter of any view on that dashboard can reference any Context Parameters set on this action. If the specified dashboard is already open it will be brought to the front and refreshed rather than a second instance of the dashboard opening. |
| Close Parent Dashboard | A Check box to determine whether the Parent Dashboard should be closed after the Action is finished. |
| Prevent Parallel Processing | A Check box to determine whether the Action can be submitted again before the previous run is finished. |
| Show progress indicator after (ms) | A number of milliseconds which need to pass after the Action is submitted before the progress indicator is shown . |
| All Users Can Run Action | If checked, this specifies that all users can run this Action provided they have the basic privilege to run stream actions. If this field is not checked, then access to the stream action is controlled by adding user groups onto the stream's "User Groups" tab. |
| URL Expression | A URL which will be open when the Action has completed. This may be provided as a fixed URL or as an expression evaluating to a fixed plain text string. The expression can reference the Form fields, Context Parameters or attributes of Records selected on the view or dashboard from which the action was initiated. |
