Actions Property Tabs |
Use the Actions property tabs to configure the properties that control all of the actions for the selected process file. These tabs are displayed when you click Actions in the Process pane.
|
If you delete all the actions, including the default Print Document action, these property tabs are not displayed. |
Execution Options
Execute Actions: Specifies whether the actions are run sequentially (in the order they appear in the Process pane) or in parallel (at the same time).
Execute actions {#} times: Specifies the number of times that the actions run each time the process file is run.
Action
Name: Specifies the name of the action. You can replace the default name by entering a new name in the field.
Description: Specifies a description for the action.
Run Action: Specifies how often you want to run the action.
Always: Specifies that the action runs each time the process file is run.
Never: Specifies that the action does not run when the process file is run.
Conditionally, based on variable: Specifies that the action runs only when a selected variable meets a specified condition. Use this option in situations in which there is only one condition that determines whether the action runs. After you select this option, you can create the conditional statement in the input box.
Variable: Specifies the variable that you want to use for the conditional statement. Enter the variable in the input box. Click to see a list of recently used variables, or click Variable or More Variables to open the Insert Variable dialog.
[Relational Operator]: Specifies the relational operator to use for the conditional statement. Click the existing operator to display a list of additional operators, and then click the one that you want to use. For more information, refer to Relational Operators. The operators that are available in the list depend on whether you selected Text or Decimal for the Type option.
Value: Specifies the values to use for the conditional statement. To add a value, click , click <enter a value>, enter the value that you want, and then press Enter
. To delete a value, use the secondary mouse button to click it, and then click Delete. Some operators, such as Is blank and Is not blank, do not require a value to be specified. In these situations, the Value field is not available.
Type: Specifies whether the conditional statement is evaluating a text or decimal value.
Conditionally, based on expression: Specifies the conditions under which the action runs. Use this option for situations that require more than one conditional statement. When you select this option, you can create the conditional expression in the input box by creating the conditional statements that you want. You create and edit your conditional expression on the Tree View tab. Click the Text View tab to see a read-only text view of the conditional expression.
Input box controls (Tree View tab)
[Conditional Joiner]: Specifies the conditional joiner for the conditional statements within the group. The default conditional joiner is And.
Click the existing conditional joiner to display a menu that enables you to configure your conditional expression in one of the following ways:
And, Or, NotAnd, NotOr: Click the conditional joiner in the list that you want to use for the conditional statements. For more information about the supported conditional joiners, refer to Conditional Joiners.
Add Condition: Click to add another conditional statement to the current group.
Add Group: Click to add a subgroup of conditional statements to the current group.
Remove Group: Click to delete the subgroup. Available when you open the menu from a subgroup.
Clear All: Click to delete all conditional statements (including subgroups). Available when you open the menu from the top-most group.
: Click to add a conditional statement to the group that is associated with that joiner. Visible to the right of each conditional joiner in your expression.
: Click to delete the conditional statement. Visible to the right of an existing conditional statement when you point to the statement.
Variable: Specifies the variable that you want to use for the conditional statement. Enter the variable in the input box. Click to see a list of recently used variables, or click Variable or More Variables to open the Insert Variable dialog.
[Relational Operator]: Specifies the relational operator to use for the conditional statement. Click the existing operator to display a list of additional operators, and then click the one that you want to use. For more information, refer to Relational Operators. The operators that are available in the list depend on whether you selected Text or Decimal for the Type option.
Value: Specifies the values to use for the conditional statement. To add a value, click , click <enter a value>, enter the value that you want, and then press Enter
. To delete a value, use the secondary mouse button to click it, and then click Delete. Some operators, such as Is blank and Is not blank, do not require a value to be specified. In these situations, the Value field is not available.
Type: Specifies whether the conditional statement is evaluating a text or decimal value.
User Account
Inherit from current interactive user: Specifies that the actions inherit user account credentials from the current interactive user.
Specify user credentials: Specifies that the actions run by using the credentials that are specified.
You can override this User Account setting on a selected action's Action tab. |
