Adding custom action to Document Actions Menu or More Action

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I have created a custom action following the wiki example. But, I do not want it in the "Run Action" menu. I want it in either or both the document icon level More Actions menu or the document details actions on the right side of the screen. How do I do this? If not possible, how can I rewrite my action to be available from these menus?

Actions are designed to work within the "Run Action" or "Create Rule" wizards so you won't be able to use your custom action directly from the More Actions menu.

To create an action in the more actions menu or down the right side you just need to add a new action to the actions defintion. Add the config below to your web-client-config-custom.xml file:

<config>
    <actions>
        <action id="your_action_id">
            <label>Your Action</label>
            <image>/images/icons/your-image.gif</image>
            <action-listener>#{YourBean.yourMethod}</action-listener>
            <params>
               <param name="id">#{actionContext.id}</param>
            </params>
         </action> 

         <action-group id="doc_details_actions">
            <action idref="your_action_id" />
         </action-group>
   </actions>
</config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
