Perform an Action on a Business Object

Perform a business object action using the Perform Action button on the Oracle Visual Builder ribbon. This button launches a wizard that prompts you to select the action and provide values for any required parameters.

The action is performed at the scope of the entire business object. It may act on some, all, or none of the items in the business object. In particular, there may be no relationship between the items affected and those items (rows) displayed in the layout.

1. Open the layout for the business object with the defined action.

   If there are one or more business object actions defined, Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel displays the Perform Action button on the Oracle Visual Builder ribbon.

   Note:

   If you do not see the Perform Action button, this means that the business object associated with the current layout does not have any defined actions.
