Advanced Actions

Run action sequence

Used to select an action sequence to run within the current set of actions.

  • Action sequence: The action sequence to run.
  • Description: The description entered within the chosen action sequence's properties.

Note:  In addition to the Action Sequence property, any inputs that have been specified on the action sequence are displayed as properties. For more information, see Inputs.

Important: 

Use action sequences thoughtfully. If there are actions within an action sequence that are contingent on context, recognize that the context changes depending upon where and how the sequence is invoked.

When invoking an action sequence, be sure to examine the individual actions for properties and merge syntax that rely on context, and ensure that you are using the correct model conditions for that action to work within the context requirements.

Run a JavaScript snippet

Use a snippet alongside other actions without adding more code to the existing snippet.

  • Name of snippet to run: The exact name of the snippet.

Snippets must be registered using skuid.snippet.registerSnippet(snippetName, snippetFunction ).
