This topic is for application designers who want to know how to configure actions.

Todo-Anthony: decide if you want to expand this page. It would be helpful to clarify:

  • stream-actions
  • parentless stream-actions
  • stream-item-actions

To configure an operation using an action:

  1. Add an action directly to the repository. Actions that are not associated with a stream can do things like open dashboards. 
  2. For specific stream, you can create an action to operate on the stream data. Action on a stream can:
    •  create, update or delete data
    • run a task
    • run analysis on a model
    • open or close a screen/dashboard
    • show prompts or messages to communicate with the user

Actions can:

  • make changes to data in a stream. In this case the action is connected to the stream data via one or more action rules.
  • make changes unrelated to data, for example to open or close a dashboard.
  • run a task plan.
  • You can optionally configure

    • the contexts in which the action will or will not run using context parameters
    • a prompt to confirm the user wants to run the action
    • something about uploading a file
    • that PhixFlow checks the conditions to allow the action to run are met (validation)
    • a task plan that will run after the actions
    • any dashboards to open or close when the action completes
    • a message to display after the action completes, for example with errors and warnings
