The Actions Selection page is used to identify the actions that the builder wants to make available to the end users.
Actions are a feature of the Workplace Suite that enable users to work more efficiently by executing pre-defined workplace activities, streamlining critical and routine business processes. For example, an action could automatically create a new list item, update one or more column values in existing list items, or send an email notification. You can even perform one or more actions on one or more items at once by defining a Chained Action.
The types of actions available and guidelines for their usage are discussed in detail in the Actions Wizard help.
All actions can be run within or across sites, across site collections, and even across virtual servers, as long as the work is done within the same configuration database. Documents and other attachments can also be copied across sites, site collections, and virtual servers.
Since Calendar Displays can show items from multiple lists, you can also perform actions on items from multiple lists. As an example, you could select certain tasks in a Calendar Display of tasks and then execute an action that updates the status of the selected tasks to Completed. Or, you could configure a Calendar Display to show only those tasks that are more than one week overdue, select all of the items in the display, and then select an action that sends a reminder email to the individuals assigned to those tasks.
