Before you add actions to an ECA rule, you must add at least one event and a condition to the ECA rule. For information on how to add events to an ECA rule, see Adding events to an ECA rule. For information on how to configure conditions for an ECA rule, see Defining conditions for an ECA rule.
The action part of an ECA rule is the action that is invoked on a widget after the conditions part of an ECA rule has been evaluated. In the ECA editor, you can configure actions for situations in which the condition evaluates to true, and you can configure actions for situations in which the condition evaluates to false. The steps that are required to configure an action whether the condition is true and the condition is false are the same.
When defining ECA actions, user could either create a new action or reuse an already available Action Group. Action Group is a group of actions that have been identified as common actions and that may have been defined using a specific editor or while creating an ECA rule. For more information, see Creating Action Groups.
