Button actions

The Actions are configured in an array. They will be executed from top to bottom. The action execution can be influenced by setting Advanced Options.

All expression calculations for each action will occur when the execution is triggered. This means that a conditional action will be executed based on the expression value before the first action is executed.

General action settings

Wait for Execution

For every action you can choose if the next action should be executed immidiatly or after the action before is finished.

Stop on Error

If an Error occurs the execution of all actions will halt. When disabled the next action will be executed. This option is only available, if Wait for Execution is enabled.
