Action Command

Use the action command to specify how to trigger and start a specified task and how to present the results.

The following table shows the properties of an action command.

Property	Required	Description
id	Yes	A non-empty string that uniquely identifies the action in the application.
name	Yes	A non-empty string that is displayed for the action in the web user interface. It can also be a key that can be translated using translation maps defined in stringsMap.
description	No	A string that is displayed for the action in a web user interface tooltip. It can also be a key that can be translated using translation maps defined in stringsMap.
trigger	No	Specifies if the action is triggered through a context menu taskbar (MENU), or when the item is opened (SELECT). If you do not explicitly include trigger in the configuration file, it is dynamically added during application configuration and is given the default value of MENU. In the Application Integration Framework, the SELECT trigger occurs when an item is opened, not when simply checked in a folder listing.
type	No	Specifies how action results are displayed to the end user. Possible values are UI and DIRECT. If the value is DIRECT, a call is made to the URL specified with invoke, and the response displays as a notification in the Oracle Content Management web interface, if possible. If the value is UI, the presentation property specifies the type of web interface to use.
presentation	No	Specifies the presentation to use if type is set to UI. Possible values are CLIENT to embed the action results in the integrations side panel on the right of the display, POPUP to display action results in a separate browser dialog, and WINDOW to display action results in a new browser window or tab. If type is set to UI and presentation is omitted, it is added to the action with the default value of CLIENT. See Presentation Command.
multi	No	Specifies if the action applies when multiple items are selected (true) or not (false). If you do not explicitly include multi in the configuration file, it is dynamically added during application configuration and is given the default value of false.
evaluate	Yes	Must be valid JavaScript Boolean value that evaluates to true or false for the selected item. For more information about expression evaluation, see Expressions.
invoke	Yes	Specifies the external service in an invoke command to use when action is triggered. See Invoke Command.
