Actions

Actions define what happens when a user interacts with an item in an app. They are most commonly used to customize what happens when a user selects a cell, button, or navigation item.

For example, an action can:

  • Open another screen or return to the previous screen
  • Save or update a value in local or session storage
  • Display a confirmation dialog or notification
  • Refresh a component after a change
  • Send data to an external service

Actions can also be combined into a sequence for more complex scenarios. A profile selection could save profile information in session storage and then continue the login flow. A preference selector could update a stored value, refresh content, and display a confirmation message.

The actions available in an app depend on its QuickBrick version and installed plugins. Some feeds and plugins can also add actions automatically for a specific use case.

For action names, configuration options, feed examples, behaviors, and roles, see the Actions and Behaviors Reference.

Actions Menu​

Use an Actions Menu when users need to choose between multiple actions for the same item, such as Favorite, Share, or Download. See Actions Menu for configuration instructions.
