Hi,
In Service Operations Workspace, under the Express List view for alerts, I’d like to add a custom button (for example, "Update Remote Task").
Thanks in advance

I believe it's not possible to add List Action in the express list

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,
Thanks for the quick response.
Is there any alternative way to display a button on the Express List?
I believe we can create a new button using UI Builder, place it on the Express List, and implement the requirement that way. Please guide me, as I’m still new to Workspace.
Thank you.

I think you will have to play with the UI builder part.
I am not sure on that part.

Hello @Abdulrajak Sha1 ,
You can add a button defining a custom Alert Management Rule and set the execution to "manual", for example, if the button should execute a subflow or workflow(this rules are pretty customizable, you can also apply filters, set order of rule, etc...)
In the following photo I created a simple "Alert Management Rule" called "test" , that when clicked launches an application x in a new window.
I hope I helped,
Kind regards,
Pau Besalú.
