Modify an Existing Action Definition

IMPORTANT: Please do not attempt to modify any action definitions using any method other than the Actions Wizard (manually or programmatically). CorasWorks does not support modification of action definitions via any means other than the Actions Wizard.

NOTE: Several prompts on the Actions Wizard user interface were reworded in the Spring 2007 release for improved clarity and usability. In these cases, the reworded prompt is stated first, followed by a slash and the original prompt (e.g., Create a New Action Definition/Create a New Action).

Any aspect of an existing action definition can be modified except the action name. To modify a definition:

1.  Access the Actions Wizard and select the Edit Existing Action Definition/Edit an Existing Action radio button.

2.  In the Site URL for Document Libraries/Site URL field, type the URL of the action library where the action you want to modify is stored and then click Add. If the action library is located in the current site, this field can be left blank.

3.  All of the libraries that have a type of Document Library and can therefore be used to store an action definition are displayed in the Document Library for Action Definition/Document Libraries area. Highlight the action library you want to work with. The definitions stored in that library are populated in the Action Definitions drop-down.

4.  Select the name of the definition you want to modify from the Action Definitions. The page is refreshed and the definition details are displayed.

      With the Winter 2006 Update and later releases, the existing selections are displayed when you select the name of the action definition to edit. Before the Winter 2006 Update, you would have had to re-select all of the definition settings.

5.  Make the necessary changes. Any aspect of the definition can be modified except the action name.

6.  Select Save when you are finished.
