Action Concepts

A stream has a set of Stream Item Actions. These specify an operation that can happen to a record in the stream. Stream item actions can create, read, update or delete a record, so are called CRUD actions.

You can configure an Action to perform several operations on the data in different streams. This is because the action contains a list of stream item actions that can come from different streams.

The action can potentially run any of the actions in its list. To decide which stream item action to run, the action has a rule associated with each stream item action. When a Stream Item Action Rule evaluates to true, the action runs the action and therefore makes a change to the data in the stream.
