When a form is submitted, it is sent to the UMRA service for further
processing, for example: the script of the form project is executed. In
UMRA, a number of form actions exist. A form
action is an action that is
executed by the UMRA service (or UMRA console application for local form
projects) as part of the processing of a form that was submitted. Form
actions can be associated with various form fields:
Button form field: For each action button, a number of form
actions can be specified.
Checkbox form
field: For a checkbox you can
define form actions for both the checked and unchecked state.
When an action button is pressed,
the form is submitted. The contents
of various form fields is stored in variables and send to the UMRA service.
Note that the form actions are not directly related to the form. Instead,
form actions are defined for form fields. For different submit buttons
(example: disable account, enable account, unlock account) you can (and
should) define different form actions.
Important: Form actions are very different
from script actions. Script actions are part of a project script. An example
of a script action is the creation of an user account in Active Directory.
See Manage
script actionsfor more information onf script actions. A form action
is an action executed by the UMRA service as a result of an end-user submitting
a form.
To setup the form actions for
an action button, select the form field button specification and select
menu option Actions,
Edit form field....
The Configure form
field - Button
window is shown. Press the Manage
actions... button.
The Configure form
actions window
is shown:
The list Form actions shows all the form actions currently defined
for the form field. Use the Add,
Edit and Delete
buttons to configure the form actions. Use the up and down keyts to change
the order of the form actions.
To setup the form
actions for a Checkbox
form field, the
procedure is very similar. Normally, you only want to configure the Set variable
action for a checkbox form field.
