Section actions
You can explicitly specify actions for a section in a form. You can also request that the platform automatically generate standard actions. Except for properties used to request the automatic generation of standard actions, you cannot specify actions for a section until after the first time you save the section.
If a section is a type of section for which you can explicitly specify actions, after the first time you save the section, a list of actions will appear in the Actions section. This list of actions is initially empty because it has no automatically generated actions. You can add an action by clicking the Add action on the section bar. You can delete an action, if it is not automatically generated, by selecting the check box and clicking the Delete action.
You cannot delete automatically generated actions. To make an automatically generated action not appear in a section, edit the section properties and clear the Visible property check box.
To edit the properties of an action, click its name.
