UI actions include the buttons, links, and context menu items on forms and lists. Configure UI actions to make the UI more interactive, customized, and specific to user activities.

Administrators and users with the ui_action_admin role can define UI actions.

## UI action controls

You can create a UI action to provide any of these controls:

* A button on a form.
* A context menu item on a form that appears when you open the form context menu or right-click the form header.
* A related link in a form.
* A button in the banner on top of a list.
* A button at the bottom of a list.
* A context menu item on a list that appears when you open the list context menu or right-click the list header.
* A menu item for the action choice list at the bottom of a list.
* A related link at the bottom of a list.
