Action Item Logic

You will use an Action Item logic when you need to present some information stored in the Action Item to the user on the Details tab of the Action Item detail page.

For example, in Actionable Insights accelerator, this is used to present information about the reason, why the action was created and also about the actions the user could perform to solve the issue found.

When logic is executed

The logic is executed, when the end user enters the tab Details on the Action Item detail page, but only when the Action Item is not yet in the final state (Done or Rejected).

Logic Selection

Logic is selected based on the setting in ActionItemType.formulaName. Note, that the Action Item Type does not need to have a logic assigned.
