Quick actions

Use quick actions to give your users' access to commonly used functions directly from an applet launcher.


Quick Actions Use quick actions to give your users access to items or actions in your mobile apps. Quick actions appear under an icon at the bottom of the applet launcher page. This button remains on the bottom of the page regardless of where a user scrolls to remain easily accessible. Quick actions are best used for tasks users must perform regularly. Quick actions can be used to open chat conversations, perform actions, make phone calls, and other commonly used tasks. Design considerations for quick actions Limit quick actions to required or frequently used actions based on the purpose of your applet launcher. Limit the number of quick actions available in an applet launcher to avoid a cluttered user experience. Remember that access to functions can be restricted with conditions, so your users only see the actions relevant to them. Keep consistency regarding which actions you choose quick actions on your Applet Launchers.

Creating quick actions

Quick actions are created using the same action functions you use elsewhere in the mobile environment. Creating a quick action requires the following steps:

Create an action function in Studio.
Create a function instance record. This record is created from the quick actions menu map list on your applet launcher form.
