Add a Call Action Chain Action

You add a Call Action Chain action to start an action chain. This action can call action chains defined in the same page, flow, or application.

For API information about this action, see Call Action Chain in the Oracle Visual Builder Page Model Reference.

To use a Call Action Chain action:

  1. Add the action in one of three ways, as explained at the end of Built-In Actions.
  2. Select an existing action chain from the Action Chain ID list, or click Create to create a new action chain. You'll only be able to select or create an action chain within your current scope or any higher scope. For example, if you're at the page level, you can select or create an action chain at the page, flow, or application level. However, if you're at the application level, you can only do so at the application level.
  3. If the called action chain requires input parameters, the input parameters will be listed under the Parameters section of the Properties pane. For each input parameter, hover over the far-right side of the parameter and click Select Variable to choose its source. If you need to create a variable, use the appropriate Create link in the Variables dialogue to create it at the appropriate scope level.

    If a value is returned by the action, it is assigned to the auto-generated variable shown by the Store Result In property.

    Here's an example of a completed Call Action Chain action with specified input parameters:
