Extending Action Menu

Implement Action as an Extension

Enable Action through Configuration

Sample Custom Actions

The action bar in the CentraSite Business UI allows a user to execute a defined set of actions on the selected objects. You can perform various actions such as modifying object details, attaching documents, generating reports, and so on, for a single object (through the object details page) or a set of objects (Search Results page).

CentraSite Business UI has a predefined set of actions available for the registry objects, for example, assets, policies, and gateways. In addition to the predefined actions, you can also define your own custom actions for the objects.

Additionally, you can customize the way in which you want the action to render:

You can add or remove an action to or from the action menu.

You can change the text string displayed for an action in the action menu.

You can change the icon that represents an action in the action menu.

You can enable an action for bulk operation.
