Currently in draft. Requires technical input from Eleanor and context input from Skevi.

This page is for application designers who need to configure specific operations that will change data in the stream.

A stream item action belongs to a stream. It represents the smallest, specific operation that can happen to the data in the stream. 

Use the following properties to configure the stream item action.

You can configure an Action by adding several stream item actions from different streams. In the action you also specify the conditions or rules under which the stream item action will run.

For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties.  We recommend you always add a Description that explains the purpose of the item you are creating. 

For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Properties, Windows, Menus and Toolbars.
