Defining Custom Actions
You can create your own toolbar buttons and menu items to link to tasks that you perform frequently, for example, buttons that link to build scripts or other programs, such as your favorite IDE.
After you define a custom action, it is available in the ViewSet as a custom menu item and a custom toolbar button.
Key Considerations
• You can create a maximum of 25 custom actions per ViewSet.
• You cannot delete a custom action once has been created. You can only hide the action or redefine it to be another action (or no action).
• Custom actions are available from shortcut menus, even if they are not visible in the ViewSet. For more information, see
“Customizing Shortcut Menus”.
• Keyboard shortcuts are preset for each custom action, and cannot be customized. See the Action Accelerator column to determine the keyboard shortcut that corresponds to each custom action.
• The following are required for custom actions to be visible in the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client:
◦ In the Action Group pane, Custom must be enabled for any custom actions to be available from the Custom menu and the custom toolbar.
◦ The Action Availability column for the custom action must be set to Visible for it to appear in the Custom menu, but not on the custom toolbar.
◦ The Action Availability column for the custom action must be set to Visible, On Toolbar for it to appear in the Custom menu and on the custom toolbar.
