Configuration Tool Actions

The Configuration tool actions allow admin users to create preset actions that are triggered by user actions. The action options are described below.

Object Creation Configuration Action

The object creation configuration action allows a user to create a new object and immediately initiate the new object into a defined workflow. This action is triggered in the following ways:

• In a Task perspective, object creation and initiation are triggered by clicking the 'Create' toolbar action. For additional information, refer to the Creating and Initiating a New Object within the Tasks Perspective topic.

• In a Browse perspective, object creation and initiation are triggered by right-clicking the 'Create' action. For additional information, refer to the Creating New Objects within the Browse Perspective topic.

Creating an Object Creation Configuration Action

1. Add a new configuration.

   • Press the Add toolbar button.

     

   • Click the Add object creation configuration button.

     

2. Enter an object type, a workflow, select the default parent node, and click the Create button.

   

   Note: The default parent settings apply when an object of this type is created in a Tasks perspective. If the object is created in a Browse perspective, it will automatically be initiated into the selected workflow, but the default parent will be overwritten with the location the object was added.

3. Click the Save button in the toolbar.
