Actions

Actions define interactive triggers that can be attached to layouts, regions, or widgets. When a trigger fires (a touch event, an external signal, and so on) the player executes a defined response, such as navigating to a different layout or advancing to the next item.

Navigate to: Sidebar → Actions

What Are Actions?

Actions connect an event (the trigger) to a response (the action). They are used to build interactive experiences on touch-screen displays or displays connected to input devices.

A common example: a touch-screen kiosk where a visitor touches anywhere on the screen to advance to the next product page. That is a single action with a Touch trigger and a Next action type.

Trigger Types

Trigger	When it fires
Touch	When a user touches or clicks anywhere on the display (or a specific region/widget)
Webhook	When the player receives an HTTP request from an external system (e.g. a sensor or integration)
Navigate	When the player receives a navigation signal (e.g. from a barcode scanner or remote control)

Action Types

Action	What the player does
Next	Advances to the next item in the current region’s playlist
Previous	Goes back to the previous item
Navigate	Jumps to a specific layout, identified by its layout code
Code	Executes a defined command code on the player

Actions Table

The Actions page lists all configured actions, showing:

Column	Description
Source	The object (layout, region, or widget) this action is attached to
Trigger	The trigger type (e.g. touch, code, webhook)
Trigger Code	Optional code used by certain trigger types

Target	The target object (for navigation actions)
Layout Code	The layout code to navigate to (for navigate actions)
