Creating Composite Actions

Sometimes you may want to create Actions which make sense not only on their own, but also in combination with other Actions. This is where Composite Actions come into play. They avoid wiring work for every new instance of that combination.

To Create Composite Actions

Navigate to the Process Assembly perspective and click the Action Packs tab.
Click the Action Pack where you want to create the Action or create a new one. (For more information see the Creating Packs section).
Click Add Action. The Add Action window is displayed.
Select the Composite Action type.
Enter a Title for the Action. The Name for the Action is suggested automatically.
Enter a new Category for the Action or select an existing one from the dropdown list. Categories are used to group and easily find the Actions and are displayed on the Actions tab.
Click Next to confirm the creation of the Action.
Re-validate your input and click Add to create the Action.

You can view all objects of the Action by right-clicking it and selecting Jump to source.

It is good practice to provide information to others in the Documentation tab of the Action workflow to help identifying your content.
