Action Type

An action type:

  • Identifies the type of business process associated with the action and determines what happens when you select an action.
  • Is associated with one or more predefined actions.

You can associate the actions you create with the predefined action types. For example, the Hire an Employee action type is associated with the Hire action. You could create an action Hire Part-Time and associate it with the Hire an Employee action type. Your action will then appear in the Actions list in the Hire an Employee page. To hire a part-time employee, users can select the Hire Part-Time action instead of the predefined Hire action.
