About Case Actions
The Case Actions configuration allows you to add and customize case actions, which are accessible within the case folder.
Case Types that have standard workflows enabled may use Case Actions. Case Actions trigger the completion of one workflow activity and trigger the next configured workflow activity. The outgoing conditions defined in the workflow designer, based on the Events are connected with Case Actions. The Case Action initiated from the UI form become the Event in Workflow to trigger the next activity. In the form, the reserved field “action_verb” can be set with rules or on click of a button to be considered a Case Action when the form is submitted.
