Creating and Editing an Action

Sensiva Help Home > Customize Sensiva > Creating and Editing an Action

An Action is a list of basic commands that are executed sequentially. Each action has a graphic symbol assigned to it which causes Sensiva to execute the action when the symbol is drawn. You can create, edit, and eliminate any number of actions, each one with any number of commands. You can also copy and paste frequently used actions from one plug-in to another.

The Action Editor allows you to edit existing actions and create new actions within a specific application's plug-in. You can find the Action Editor by clicking on the "Customize Sensiva" button near the top of the Sensiva window. Select "Action" and then "New".
