Define Actions for a Simple Action/Event Automation Process

Use the Action page in the Simple Action/Event Automation Process window to define general properties for the process.

When you define actions, you define:

  • The One-Step™ Action or Action to run when the event takes place.

If you create a Save One-Step Action that saves child Business Objects before the parent Business Object is saved, those child events will not execute properly. Ensure you clear the Execute before saving record check box on the Save Action for the child events.
