Add Entity Actions

An entity action is an action performed on entity action views to retrieve and manipulate information about entities. Entity actions are CREATE, READ, READ EACH, UPDATE, and DELETE. To perform an entity action, the entity action views must exist. The following table shows examples of entity actions:

Entity Action	View Name	Entity Type
CREATE	new	customer
READ	required	order
READ EACH	existing	customer
UPDATE	required	part
DELETE	cancelled	order

Note: For more information about an entity action, see the Toolset Help.

You can use one or more of the following activities to add entity actions:

Generate elementary processes
Expand expected effects in the Action Diagram
Directly add entity actions while working with the Action Diagram

These activities establish the framework for the subsequent development of process and procedure logic. All other logic in the Action Diagram is built around the entity actions you first establish.
