Before you can add a button or link to a page, you must first specify what you want the application to do when the user clicks that link or button. In ActiveGrid Applications, that specification is called an
Action.
Actions are little snippets of logic that tells the ActiveGrid Server exactly what to do when it receives the associated submit.
To get things done, Actions invoke
service operations. A service operation is any operation that is available to the application. This includes operations defined in registered web services or custom code services, as well as data service operations. The most common “service operation” is simply invoking another
Page in the application.
