Defining action hooks

You can define hooks for an action in a record type. You can customize action hooks by including scripts that use the HCL Compass API.

Procedure

To define an action hook, use the Actions grid:
  1. Start the Designer.
  2. In the Schema Repository Explorer view, expand the Record Types or Record Types - Stateless folder.
  3. Select and expand the record type.
  4. For state-based record types, expand the States and Actions folder.
  5. Expand the Actions node and double-click on an action to open the Record Actions grid.
  6. In the Record Actions grid, right-click in a column and select Scripts.
  7. Select a scripting language.
    The Scripts editor starts.
  8. Define the hook using the HCL Compass API.

Results

The hook will be compiled when you validate the schema, and any syntax or grammar errors will be marked.
