Action panes were added to lists to provide streamlined capabilities and easy access to common tasks. Action panes provide functionality similar to ribbons in Microsoft® Office.

 

New enhancements provide the following capabilities:

•     Multiple non-sequential records can be selected; and actions performed

•     Common actions selected from the action pane for selected records

•     Actions displayed based on user's security

•     Actions enabled based on record or records selected

•     Action pane can be customized for list views

 

Action panes are divided into groups and each group contains action buttons.  Each action button performs an action against the selected records, or opens a window containing information for a selected record. Actions will “light up” depending on the record(s) selected.

 

An overflow menu may appear to the right of the groups and will contain action buttons that are not displayed. If an action pane is shortened, actions buttons move to the overflow menu.
