Built-in Actions

VB Studio provides a set of built-in actions that you use to create your action chain.

Each action performs a specific function and requires you to set different properties. For example, when you add the Call REST endpoint action to your action chain, you need to specify the endpoint and other details about the response to the Call REST endpoint action. Similarly, when you add the Navigate action to an action chain, you are required to select a page in your application that the action navigates to, as shown here:

Regarding an action's output, an action can have multiple potential outcomes (such as success or failure, or a branch), and it can return results. For more details, refer to Action Results in the Oracle Visual Builder Page Model Reference guide.

Note:

Some built-in actions might be deprecated over time. To view actions deprecated in the latest release of VB Studio, use the Show Deprecated option in the Actions palette's menu. The actions will show up in the actions palette, but won't be updated any more. The Show Deprecated option gives you time to move away from deprecated actions in your action chains.
