Thank you Stefan for quick reply.
I want like this ,here I have added one action "List of Items" .So want to add more action like this .
Got it. It is not about actions per item, but per the whole list. That is not directly possible as of now. A nice solution is to create a custom interface including a record list. Then you can have any number of actions.
Hi Stefan ,
Actually I am new for Appian ,So could you please explain it.
As for I understood if I create interface in which I include record type so whatever Action or Related Action present in that Record Type I can fetch only this. But in My Case I want to add action which not present in Related Action so how can I add.
Please explain.
You can use a startProcessLink to start any process you like.
Ok
I'll try to implement it.
I recommend recordActionField over startProcessLink since you get more OOTB controls and the ability to open actions in a dialog. You can add a recordActionField to any row in the grid as well
Can I have more than a single record action (not related actions) and put them into a recordActionField? As far as I understand, this is what is requested.
But in this case, couldn't you engineer some related action(s) to essentially take no record-specific context and effectively be a record action? (caveat: i haven't tried this recently, so i'm not sure whether it would work gracefully)
We can certainly utilize Related Actions for any purpose, without needing to reference record context, but this would only show the actions when viewing individual records. Believe the OP wants multiple Record Actions to show on the top level Record view itself - and since we cannot modify any SAIL there, and the config only allows one Record Action, I do not believe this is possible - would defer to Appian.
Otherwise my suggestion would be to have one Record Action with different features within - such as "Modify List", then your process can have different functions within, such as "Add Item", "Remove Item", etc.
Assuming we're working on a custom SAIL form as was previously mentioned, I thought we could use RecordActionField and place arbitrary related action start buttons in whatever context we like. Alas my memory is fuzzy as I've always defaulted to startProcessLink since it's 4x more intuitive to set up, though I do certainly wish we had the flexibility to force those to open in a dialog (or, gasp, a pop-up window? like /Design does for various things? sacreleige!)
