An action graph is a very specific type of graph, where the list of actions and order are defined, this is the usual type of graph returned to a front-end for (webpage) processing. This may be to show (flash) a message to the user, update an item on a screen etc. The graph is processed in a depth first order.
An action graph always starts with the keyword Action (note: Capital Letter), and is followed by a number of child nodes which are valid for an action graph (see list below).
In the Action Graph above, the following action will be taken:
- The message “Data Updated” will be shown to the user on a pop-up
- Values will be stored:
- The value “The value is A” will be stored in the variable “Response", the variable is probably linked to a value on the screen, thus the item on the screen will now read “The value is A”
