Actions

Actions perform the business logic after all the decision-making is done. An action works in a similar way to data elements except at the end. When it runs, it performs a task instead of returning a value.

Note: Actions are run in the order they appear in the User Console.

The following fields define an action:

• Action Name

  Defines the purpose of the action.

• Category

  Provides a grouping of actions. This field sorts the actions and makes selection easier.

• Type and Function

  Defines the type and function of the action taken.

  Note: For more information about Type and Function, see Data.

• Function Description

  Provides a prepopulated description of the function. Each function selected provides a different description to help in understanding its use and what the expected values are.

• Parameters

  Defines the parameters passed to the action.
