Add a MOVE Action

Adding a MOVE action to the Action Diagram is part of creating assignment actions. This action moves information into the export view so you can output information from a process. In the following example, the MOVE statement takes the information from new customer and places it into the export view preferred customer list:

MOVE new customer to preferred customer list

The MOVE statement moves the entire view. You do not have to add a MOVE action for each attribute value. Any extra attributes in the destination view (preferred customer list in the example above) are not changed.

Transient views can be modified by MOVE and SET actions. Persistent views cannot be the target of MOVE or local SET verbs.
