You can create a Action Group type action containing two or more
action records, and specify a sequence to use when the actions in
the group are activated.
About this task
The following rules apply to action groups:
- If you specify an object for the group, all members
of the action group must be for the same object.
- Group type actions cannot be members of an action
group.
When you create a Action Group action, the Value field,
the Parameter/Attribute field, and the Memo field are
all read-only.
