UI Action- Action Name

[Anupam Thomas]

Hi All,
Please help me understand what is the use of the Action Name in a UI Action form? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

It defined the uniqueness for the UI action.

Mostly used when you want to pass control from client side to server side code in UI action which runs both client + server

it is a technical name which can be referenced by other script to invoke that UI Action (for exmaple via gsftSubmit())

Hi Anupam,

Action name is a unique name that is given to an UI action to pass the control from client to server.

You can override a button's behavior by putting its action name in your custom UI Action.
