UI Actions

UI Actions are configurable shortcuts to workflows created with the action trigger that allow workflows to be directly invoked on assets via the context menu.

To open the UI action menu, simply open the context menu on any asset, select "Actions", then "Edit".

Managing UI Actions

UI actions are created, edited and deleted in the UI action menu with the "+", "pencil" and "-" buttons. .

Configuring UI Actions

Name and Description

Each UI action has a name and description associated with it. The name and description serve to identify the action.

Workflow

The workflow selected determines the action's executable functions. Whenever the action is taken, the workflow will be fired from its action trigger.

For more information on the action trigger, see Action Triggers.

Danger Level

The danger level of an action determines whether confirmation is required by the action. If the danger level is set to "Never Confirm", the action will execute with no further warning. If the danger level is set to "Confirm", then the user is prompted with a dialog before the action is executed. This dialog will allow users to opt to skip further confirmations from that action. If the danger level is set to "Always Confirm", the user will be asked to confirm the action every time the action is performed.

Variables and Parameters

The variables and parameters section shows the variables that the action trigger is able to access. Parameters in blue that say <Supplied at Execution> are parameters that the action trigger of the workflow has been configured to use. Parameters that are greyed out and say <Value Unused by Workflow> are values that are available to the workflow, but the trigger has not been configured to accept.

The values of any other variables expected by the trigger must be configured by clicking on them in the dialog box and supplying a value manually.

For more information on variables and passed parameters, see Triggers and Data Injection.
