Create and Edit Quick Actions

For groups with associated quick actions, let's take a look at how you can create and edit quick actions for both the News feed and Home with Ask Oracle layouts. You can also edit quick action groups, which are used to group some related quick actions.

Create and Edit Quick Actions for News Feed

1. In Sandboxes, create a sandbox or enter an existing one. Make sure the sandbox has the Structure tool.

2. From the sandbox Tools menu, select Structure.

3. Click the name of any group that has quick actions.

4. On the Edit Group page, click the Quick Actions tab.

5. Do one of these steps based on your need and proceed to Step 6:

   • Click Create.

   • Expand a quick action group and click a quick action name to edit.

   • Expand a quick action group, click a quick action name and then click Create Duplicate to duplicate it.

6. Provide a name for the quick action.

7. Search for and select an image for the quick action.

8. Select the quick action group you want to place this quick action in.

9. (Only for editing a quick action) If you want the quick action to appear in the quick action list on the home page, select the Add as a quick action link on home page checkbox.

10. From the Visible list, choose whether to display the quick action on the home page.

    If you select EL Expression, the evaluation of the EL expression decides whether the quick action will be visible for specific user roles. Click next to the list and enter an expression without line breaks or double quotes. Validate the EL expression and make sure it evaluates to true or false.

11. From the Mobile Enabled list, specify whether the quick action will be available for mobile devices.

12. Select a link type and configure the link details. See Configure Links for Page Entries and Quick Actions.

    Note: When you're editing a quick action, you can change the link configuration only for custom quick actions.

13. Save the quick action and publish the sandbox.
