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
Client & Server Code in One UI Action

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.
