| <h1 class="topictitle1">Managing user actions (user options)</h1> |
| |
| <div class="p">To create a new action or change an existing action:</div> |
| <ol> |
| <li><span>In the Remote Systems view, expand the connection |
| containing the kinds of resources you want to act on, |
| navigate to the subsystem that would contain those resources, and |
| select <b>Work with > User actions</b>. |
| You can also right-click on a file in one of your filters, and select <b>User |
| Actions</b>.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Type the text to display in the <b>Action Name</b> field. |
| This is a brief label for the action.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Type a longer, more descriptive text for the action in the <b>Comment</b> |
| field.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Type the actual command string to run when |
| a user selects this action. This command can use action substitution |
| variables when your action is run. These variables are used when defining the |
| command string to run for a particular action. Substitution variables keep you |
| from having to explicitly code command parameter values. Click <b>Insert |
| variable</b> to see and select valid variables.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="p"><b>Additional parameters</b> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Select <b>Browse</b> to search for and select command |
| files (for example, .exe, .bat or .cmd files). The file name you select |
| is reflected in the Command field when you return. </li> |
| <li>Select <b>Prompt</b> to prompt the command currently entered |
| in the Command area.</li> |
| <li>Select <b>Prompt first</b> to indicate that Remote System |
| Explorer should prompt the command when it is run.</li> |
| <li>Select <b>Refresh after</b> to have Remote System Explorer |
| refresh the selected files after the action's command is run. This is |
| useful if your command affects the information displayed in the file list |
| window for the selected files, for example, if your command changes the type |
| of a file.</li> |
| <li>Select <b>Show action</b>.</li> |
| <li>Select <b>Single selection only</b> if you want to show |
| this action only when a single object is selected.</li> |
| <li>Select <b>Invoke once </b> to collect the full names of |
| all selected resources into the file name parameter and run the command |
| only once for all resources that are selected..</li> |
| <li>Select any currently defined named types from the <b>Defined |
| Types</b> list |
| and click <b>Add</b> to include them in the <b>Selected |
| Types</b> list. The action will only appear if a file matching one |
| of these types is selected.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>You can choose to view user actions by active profile for remote |
| objects |
| on the <b>User Actions</b> cascade menu. You can see both |
| team-shared and private user actions. To enable this, select <b>Cascade |
| user actions by profile</b> on the <b>Remote Systems Preferences</b> |
| page.</p> |
