How to Add an Actions Library to Datacap Studio

Datacap Taskmaster Installation automatically supplies a full set of up-to-date

Actions Libraries (.rrx). Alert! Although you can add new libraries, and new

actions to a library – be sure to consult Datacap Support or your Installation

Manager first. (This section only explains the basic principles involved.)
Each RRX file contains related actions in a unique category.

In the case of a new Actions Library file, for example, take these steps to add it

to Datacap Studio:
• Give the file a name that reflects the nature of the actions it contains.
• Copy the file.
• Paste it into the RRX sub-folder of the Datacap directory’s RRS folder.
• Open your Datacap Studio.
Be sure the new file is part of the Actions library tab’s list of files with global actions.
This very short example from the Validations.rrx file is the code for the single

IsThisFieldFilled action.
<af name="IsThisFieldFilled" access="public" bInter="bInter" bDebug="bDebug"

qi="Confirms if current field has a captured value.">

<h><![CDATA[ Confirms if the current field has a captured value. ]]>
<e><![CDATA[ IsThisFieldFilled() ]]></e>
</h><![CDATA[
If(CurrentObj.ObjectType = DCO_FIELD) Then
If(Trim(CurrentObj.Text)<>"") Then
IsThisFieldFilled = true
Else
IsThisFieldFilled = false
end if
Else
writelog("function IsThisFieldFilled works only on field level")
IsThisFieldFilled = False
End if ]]></af>

If you do add an action, Datacap Studio will list it as part of the Actions Library.

Remember! Be sure to work with Datacap Support or your Implementation Manager

if you intend to add a new action to an Actions Library.
The Properties dialog does not display properties for a library or an action until

the action is part of a rule
