Working with Actions

In the Naologic Builder, actions equate to data. They are the primary mechanism for tying together interface elements, enabling you to manage and manipulate data across your app. This guide will provide insights into accessing and utilizing actions, helping you unlock the full potential of the Naologic Builder.

Locating the App Actions

1. Access the Project Canvas: Navigate to the desired project in the Builder Overview and open the Project Canvas by clicking on it.
2. Open the App Flow: Hover over the app you wish to modify and click on "Access app flow."
3. Open the Elements Menu: On the middle left side of the individual app canvas, you'll find a plus sign (+). Clicking on it will open a modal where you can find the available Actions under User Interface > Actions.

Utilizing Actions in Your App

Upon dropping an action onto the canvas, you'll find the option to edit it. This is where you define the logic for that action in relation to the overall app part it is being integrated into.

For instance, consider the scenario where you create a table to store contact entries and then create a new contact. To store this new contact in the table, you would need an action to create a new data entry. The "edit action" feature would enable you to ensure that the data document created is compatible and allowed to be stored in the new contacts table.

Actions are the driving force behind your Naologic applications. With a solid understanding of actions, you'll be equipped to create powerful and engaging user experiences.
