Add Actions to a Pop-up Window

• Mar 03, 2026

A pop-up Window can contain a Detail or List View and Actions. Actions are displayed by Action Containers. If you need to add an action to a pop-up window, add it to the action container of a corresponding template. This topic describes which built-in templates are used to display pop-up windows. For instructions on how to display a window in response to an action, refer to the following topic: Ways to Show a View.
