Invoke an Action when a button is pressed

In this article I explain how to attach/associate an action to a push button in an application.

  1. Create the Action you have to call if not already done (Go To - System Configuration - Platform Configuration - Actions).
  2. Open your application with the Application Designer and create a Signature Option with the same name of the Action you want to call (Actions - Add/Modify Signature Options - New Row).
  3. Expand the 'Advanced Signature Options' section and set 'This is an action that must be invoked by user in the UI'.
  4. Create a Push Button on the application with the following settings
    1. Event: enter the action name
    2. Signature Option: READ 
  5.  Grant the Signature Option to appropriate users in Security Groups.
