Perform Actions in an Action Table Layout
You can use an Action Table layout to create multiple pending action requests and send them with a single click.
To do this, create rows and enter action field values into each one as you would for a Table layout. As with a Table layout, an Action Table layout can include validation rules and list of values, as well as data type and required field enforcement. Any issues you encounter are displayed in the Status Viewer. See Understanding Data Validation.
As you edit each row, it is converted into a pending action request and the Change column is set to the custom action title, such as Apply Prepayments. Once you have finished entering all required values, the row is set to Pending action: <action title> in the Status Viewer.
To help you create action request rows and upload them, the Oracle Visual Builder ribbon tab includes a couple of icons:

The Action Request Changes menu includes two commands:
- Insert Action Request Rows: Use this command to insert rows into the layout as you would in a Table layout with the Table Row Changes > Insert Rows command. See Create New Rows to Upload to the Web Application.
- Exclude Action Request Rows: Use this command to exclude a row from the upload. This command is handy if a row fails during upload and you want to exclude it from subsequent uploads until you've fixed the issue.
When you are ready to upload your pending action requests, click Upload Action Requests to send all the pending rows to the web application. As with Table layouts, the result of each action request is shown in the Status cell in the corresponding table row. When this row is selected, detailed information is shown in the Status Viewer.
