MAS - CA - Application (Action) Node

This topic describes the context-sensitive commands and screens available, when an application (action) node is selected in the tree of the Modular Messaging Caller Applications window.

Notes: For information about the main window and other nodes, see MAS - CA - Modular Messaging Caller Applications Window & Nodes. For an overview and procedures for using caller applications, see MAS - CA - Understanding Caller Applications and, in particular, MAS - CA - Procedure - Creating & Editing Caller Applications.

Application (Action) Node

Application (action) nodes typically represent the menu items and other caller options within a caller application. A caller application can have many of these as sub-nodes.

The icon for an application (action) node varies, depending on its current status. These example icons show key press 1 but they can show any valid key press number.

You will see this display, when the application (action) node is fully configured and the caller application has been saved.

The green arrow attached to the icon indicates this node is the start of the caller application. The caller application node is set as the start point by default but it can be set for an application (action) node instead

You will see this display, when the application (action) node is configured correctly so far but ideally needs additional settings before the caller application is saved.

You will see this display, when the application (action) node is not configured correctly. It also ideally needs additional settings before the caller application is saved.

You will see this display, when the application (action) node is not configured.

Note: Until this is corrected, you cannot save the caller application successfully.
