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 [[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 basic "Do Nothing" Action.
# Name: Enter a name for this Action. For convenience, a default name is provided that you may use.
# On selection of:
## Select "any" or "specific" for the type of data selection by the User that will trigger the Action. If you select "specific", you must do the following:
### 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 Finish 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 (in this case doing nothing).
# Click Finish to exit the Widget Wizard and test the Action.

== Sample Use Case ==

When working with Widgets in AppBoard Builder, clicking on a Widget that has no Actions will pop up a "No Action Defined" message. To eliminate this message from popping up, the administrator can apply a "Do nothing" Action to the Widget.

Also, 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.
