Call Action

The Call Action action available from the Specials submenu of the Action menu calls an action from the head section of the page. In order for Call Action to work, the trigger for the action in the header must be set to OnCall (see Get Form Value).

The Call Action action can be used to make your actions modular and easier to maintain. For example, when your page contains two links that jump to the same URL (one at the top, one at the bottom), you define the GoToURL action once in the header and connect it with a button and a text link. If you decide to change the URL addressed by the two controls later on, you will only need to change it once.

By clicking the small icon next to the Action pop-up menu you can specify how to supply the name of the action:

The red "C" icon () (default) lets you select an action. The green question mark icon () lets you choose an action. The blue ball icon () lets you select a variable of the type "Action name" that holds an action name.
