Buckets Quick Actions

What Are Bucket Quick Actions

Bucket Quick Actions (Image) help you define buttons on the data card to quickly resolve / remove records. Quick Actions are not mandatory but they are helpful to resolve quick repetitive tasks.

Within NEA X Focuszone UI

Bucket Quick Actions are displayed as buttons on the data card:


quick-action-ui

Add A New Quick Action

To add a new Bucket Quick Action open the NEA X Focuszone Configuration App, navigate to Bucket Quick Actions on the sitemap on the left and click on New:


quick-actions-add

Following form should be presented to you:


quick-action-ui

The fields on the form are for following purposes:

FieldnameFunctionVisible in Focuszone UIMandatoryUI Reference Image
NameName of the quick actionNoYes-
Display NameDisplay name for the button on the data cardYesYesLink
Action NameName of the Dynamics 365 Action to be performed on button clickNoYes-
OwnerOwner of the quick action record, irrelevant for functionalityNoYes-

Fill in the mandatory fields and click on Save. For now, it is recommended to add a placeholder for the Action Name field, because the creation of a Dynamcis 365 action is handled in the next section:

Adding A Dynamics365 Action

Bucket Quick Actions use Dynamics365 Actions as the logic layer. When a Primary or Secondary Action is clicked in the NEA X Focuszone UI the provided Dynamics 365 Action is called, via the Action Name field in the Quick Action Definition. Creating a new action requires expertise in Dynamics 365 Customization. If you feel unsure, please contact an admin before you proceed. Furthermore it is not recommended to add actions in production systems. It is best practice creating them in a Dynamics365 Solution in a Development System, test them as managed components in a Test System and only if they function correctly deploying them to production.

Create An Action

To create an action, open the Advance Settings, navigate to Solutions and open one you want to add the action to:


quick-actions-dyn-action-open-solution

In the newly opened window, click on Processes on the left and then on New:


quick-action-dyn-action-make-new

A dialog with following fields should open:

Process nameName of the process. Will be used later to associate with the quick actionNo
CategoryType of Process. Must be set ActionNo
