Task create

This will dynamically create new tasks for any 'Task list' fields found in the solution.

Codeunit

This action triggers the execution of a special codeunit: Codeunit/Statusaction.

Except for timed actions you would implement this inside a Codeunit/Formevents.

Export

The template is optional: If no template is found raw XML will be generated (FTP/mailto will not work).

The following types of routing are supported for template based exports

• Local file system (optionally a mapped share)
• Remote FTP server
• Sent by email

Please note that export actions are handled in seperate threads (performance), and there is no guarantee the operation succeds (tjeck the event log)

Values from record

The target reference may contain field references in the {FIELD} format, that will be populated at runtime.

Other special tags include

• {SagID}
• {DataID}
• {Resume}
• {NanoTime}

Note that values in records are not filtered for illegal og troublesome characters (such as \ or . )

Usage examples

Routing	Syntax	Syntax example
File system	local filesystem path	c:\exportFolder\{GROUP}\{TITLE}.docx
FTP server	ftp location and connection string	ftp://username:password@acme.com/exportFolder
Send by mail	"mailto:"+[email]+":"+[subject]+":"+[filename]	mailto:boss@acme.com:Attention:your_2013_report

Shift status

A status merely changes the status to a new value.

This type of action only makes sense to use in timed actions.
