Action Basics

Witch Actions you can define common tasks that you want to perform on entities repeatedly and consistently.

Why use an action

Actions have several advantages over manual updates.

Update consistency A dialog will show the user only the required fields for performing the action.
Convenience The user can quickly perform common updates without having to interact with additional fields.
Perform batch updates With batch actions the user can update multiple entities at once.

An action has up to three generic parameters, depending on the type of action you want to implement.

TParameters An optional reference type that encapsulates the parameters required for a parameterized action.
TResource Denotes the resource the action should be provided on.
TIdentifier The identifier type of the entity the action is performed on.

There are three action types you can implement. A resource may have multiple actions of different types assigned.

Can be performed on single and multiple entities. See Universal Actions for more details.

Performed on a single entity on the entity details page, see Single Actions for more details.

Performed on multiple entities selected by the user. See Batch Actions for more details.
