	== ~~How To Create an Action in a Widget~~ ==		== Managing Actions ==

	~~Perform~~ the ~~following steps to configure an Action~~ in ~~a Widget~~:		Accessing the actions associated with a widget can be performed in two ways:

	# ~~Log in to AppBoard~~ Builder ~~as an administrator.~~		# In the Builder by selecting the Actions icon (lightning bolt) in the widget title bar.
	~~# Go to~~ the Actions ~~panel~~ in the ~~Widget Wizard:~~		# Using the ''Widgets'' Builder Mode, selecting a widget, and clicking the Actions button.
	#* ''~~Method 1~~'':
	~~#*# In~~ the ~~<b>Builder Modes</b> panel, select~~ '''~~Widgets~~'''~~. The~~ '''~~Widgets~~''' ~~panel is displayed~~.		With the ''Widget Actions'' dialog open you can:
	#*~~# Select a Widget and then click~~ ''~~'Actions'~~'' to ~~display the Actions panel~~ for ~~that Widget.~~
	#* ''~~Method 2~~'':		* use the ''Click'' or ''Hover'' buttons to manage mouse-click or mouse-hover actions.
	#*~~# In~~ the ~~<b>Builder Modes</b> panel, select <b>Builder</b> and locate~~ the ~~appropriate~~ Widget in which ~~you will create~~ the ~~Action~~.		* use the ''Add Action'' button to add a new action
	~~#*# Click~~ the ~~lightning bolt icon in~~ the ~~header bar of~~ the ~~Widget~~ to ~~display~~ the ~~Actions panel for~~ that ~~Widget~~.		* edit action configuration for existing actions
	~~# Click <b>Add~~ Action~~</b>~~		** The ''Name'' field is information only, please set to something descriptive.
	~~# Select~~ the ~~appropriate Action~~. ~~See~~ the ~~table above for a brief summary~~ of ~~each Action~~.		** For details on configuring individual actions refer to the tables above.
	# ~~Configure~~ the ~~Action~~. ~~Each Action~~ will ~~have different elements that are required~~.		** For details on configuring action filtering see the section below.
	~~# Click <b>Close</b>~~ to ~~save~~ the ~~changes~~ to the ~~Action~~ and the ~~Widget~~.		* delete an existing action using the red X icon associated with that action.

			=== Action Filtering ===
			Not only does clicking or hovering on something allow you to perform actions in context, but the context can also be used to determine what actions to fire. This provides a powerful mechanism to do different things depending on what the user has selected.

			For example, take a visualization which presents regional locations, main offices, and data centers all on the same map. If the location type information is available within the data collection then this can be used to drive visualization filters to visually indicate the difference between locations, and an administrator can configure actions to fire based on the location type too. Such as each location type taking the end-user to a ''different'' drill-down board based on that type.

			[[File:appboard-2.4-widget-action-filtering.png\|frame\|center\|Action filtering enabled]]

			The line below the action name that begins with ''On selection of ...'' is used to configure action filtering. By default this is set to ''any'', which means the action will fire on any selection. To enable action filtering:

			# Change the ''On selection of'' preference to ''specific''.
			# Click the ''Filter'' button to manage the filter conditions. Using the (action) Filter Editor is just as with the Icon, Color, and Status Shape filters. Build out one or more rules that will determine whether the action will fire.

			If multiple actions need to fire using the same conditions it can become cumbersome to set up action filters on each action. Instead, use ''Bundled Actions''. That way just the bundle action itself needs to have an action filter configured and all actions within the bundle will fire.
