Actions in the program

What are actions?

An action is some work that a program does to make life easier for the user. Sometimes actions are also called operations .

Where are the actions located?

Actions in the program are always nested in a specific module or directory with which they are associated. For example, in the guide "price lists" have action "Copy price list" . It applies only to price lists, so it is in this directory that it is located.

'Hotkeys

Hotkeys can be assigned to the most frequently used actions. In this case, to call the action, just press on the keyboard, for example, 'F7' .

Incoming parameters

For example, this, and many other actions, have input parameters. How we fill them in depends on what exactly will be done in the program.

Input parameters can be mandatory, without which the operation cannot be performed and the program will prompt you about it. Or they may not be mandatory, in which case they can be filled in or left blank.

One of the input parameters can be the record itself, on which you are going to perform the action. That is why, if an operation is performed on a specific record or several, then you must first select them.

For some actions, you need to select only one record in the table, for others, you can select several. To learn how to work with each correctly, read this instruction!

Outgoing parameters

You can also sometimes find outgoing parameters for actions, which display the result of the operation. In our example, after copying the price list, the total number of copied rows is shown.

When a procedure has no result, its window is automatically closed immediately upon completion. And if there is a result, then such a notification about the completion of the procedure comes out.

Action buttons
