The "Do Nothing" Action lives up to its name. This action is created to make sure that no other actions are executed on the selection of a specific data collection. When these items are clicked, nothing happens.

== How To Create a Do Nothing Action ==

For instructions on adding an Action to a Widget, see the general instructions in [[appboard/2.4/builder/widgets/actions#How_To_Create_an_Action_in_a_Widget|How To Create an Action in a Widget]].

== How To Configure a Do Nothing Action ==

Perform the following steps to configure a "Do Nothing" Action:

# Follow the instructions above to create the Action in the Widget Actions panel.
# Name: Enter a name for this Action. For convenience, a default name is provided that you may use. The Name is not used anywhere else in AppBoard, and only displayed on this configuration page.
# On selection of:
## Select "any" or "specific" for the type of data selection by the User that will trigger the Action. When selecting "specific", perform the following additional steps:
### Click the Filter button. The Filter Editor is displayed.
### Click Add Rule to create one or more rules that indicate what data should trigger the Action, when selected.
### Click Close to save the Filter settings.
## Select the Data Collection name. When the Widget is run, selection of data in this Data Collection will trigger the Action.
# Click Close to exit.

== Sample Use Case ==
If the requirements for a Widget are that it should not do anything, the Board developer can apply this Action to indicate this requirement to future developers who may be working on this Board.
