Application DesignClose Application Action

A Close Application action closes an item by submitting or canceling and reloads the page.

Note: This type of action is available only in applications.

Note: Each action must have a name by which it is identified, and this name must be unique within the form in which it appears. This name can be modified in the Name field of the action and is displayed in View > Actions after the action has been created.

The following are the properties for a Close Application action.

Value Description

Name

The name for the action or rule.

Trigger source

The field that is used in conjunction with a trigger event to interactively run the rule. For example, a button that runs a query when clicked, a prompt that runs a query when submitted, or a form that runs a query when loaded.

Trigger event

The event that is used in conjunction with the trigger source to run the rule. For example, clicking a button, entering text at a prompt, loading a form, or submitting a job.

Priority

The order in which the rules that have otherwise identical triggers are run. Trigger values are compared only if the triggers have the same trigger source, trigger event, and trigger key (if any). The type of trigger source is irrelevant. The trigger source with the lowest value for priority is run first.

Conditional

Determine whether to perform an action based on the result of a comparison of values or the result of a logical operation.
