Step 3: Define Messages and Colors for the Action Form

The last page of the Actions Wizard is used to define the success and failure messages to be displayed when the action is executed, as well as the colors to use on the action entry form, if applicable.

1.     The Success Message defaults to “Action Completed” and is disabled by default.

      If you want to have a message displayed when the action is completed successfully, edit the message if you wish and place a mark in the Show the Success Message checkbox.

2.  The Failure Message defaults to “Action Failed.” This message is displayed to the end user if the action fails for any reason.

3.  You can also specify the font color to use on the action entry form, using the same options as are available for the background color.

      A few field rendering controls that may be used on the action entry form are managed by SharePoint. The color you identify here will not be utilized on those controls.

4.  When you are finished, select Finish. You are returned to the Actions Wizard’s Action Selection page. The action is now available for use.
