Relationship: Element List Has Action

Use the Element List has Action relationship to define element list actions. Element list actions can appear in the context menu of the element list, but are defined independently of the element types. This lets you define actions that:

Can be used on all the elements of an element list.
Activate only if no elements have been selected in the list.
Can always be carried out.

This is dependent on the Selection Count attribute of the action Enabled or Visible condition. If no action Enabled or Visible condition is defined, the action can always be carried out. See Enabled/Visible Condition for more information.

Examples of element list actions include:

Opening an Element (all Element Types) in the Browse mode (Selection Count = 1).
Inserting an Element into an empty element list (Selection Count = 0).

Attribute	Type	Description
Seq No *	Integer	The position number of the action in the context menu.
TargetID *	Action Descriptor	The action descriptor that should be referenced by means of this relationship.
ActionVisibleCondition [O]	ActionVisibleCondition	This complex attribute enables you to define the rules when the action should be shown in the context menu of the element list.
ActionEnabledCondition [O]	ActionEnabledCondition	This complex attribute enables you to specify rules to conditionally activate the action. Non-activated actions are disabled and can not be executed.
Label [O]	String	The display text or the tooltip for the action.
Show In Context Menu [O]	Boolean	Determines whether the action is shown in the context menu of the element list entries.
Show In Tool Bar [O]	Boolean	Determines whether the action is shown in the tool bar of the element list. This feature is currently not supported, but is for future use.

Example

Element List Has Action Relation Properties

Attribute	Value	Description
Essential:
Seq No	1	The label of this action is the first entry in the context menu of the element list.
Target ID	Reference to the action SCLM_ACT_InsertSCLMMember	The element list action points to the action SCLM_ACT_InsertSCLMMember to create and insert a new SCLM member. An insert member action is a typical element list action as it does not require the selection of an existing member.
Optional:
Label	New SCLM Member...	The label to be used for this action when shown as an action of an element list. This value overrides the label defined in the action itself.
Show In Context Menu	true	The action's label is shown in the context menu of every element of this element list.
Show In Toolbar	false	The action's label is not shown in the toolbar of this element list.
