Add a Show Action Menu action

Use the Show Action Menu action to display an action menu from the list of multiple action menus for a touch-enabled Phone or Tablet form.

  1. On the Form Modeling bar, click Actions.
  2. On the Actions page, click Add Generic Add.
  3. On the Type list, select Show Action Menu.
  4. Enter a Name and Description for the action.
  5. Optionally, configure a separate action for each language. See Configure multilingual actions for a form or control.
  6. To display the action menu, consume the menu in the Action Menu box.
  7. Click OK.

    The newly created action is added to the table.

  8. Click Save.
  9. Associate the action with the control to trigger the action. To call the Show Action Menu action, associate the action with a touch-enabled Phone or Tablet form. See Associate an action with a form or control.

    When triggered, this action launches the action menu when the form is opened.

    Note When you call the Show Action Menu action, the menu is docked at the bottom of the window. Clicking an option on the menu executes the associated actions and closes the menu.
