Adding the application action node

To add an application action node to a caller application:

  1. In the Tree pane, click the node to which you want to attach the new application node (and under which it will appear in the tree).
  2. You can attach an action node either to a caller application node or to another application (action) node.

  3. Click Action > New > Application node, or click the New () icon.
  4. The system displays the Add Node dialog box.

    Note: This procedure assumes you have configured the system to automatically display dialog boxes when adding application nodes (see Configuring preferences and general caller application properties). If not, the system creates the node without allowing you to configure any properties at this point. If this is the case, the system displays the node’s icon in the Tree pane as not viable (). To configure properties for the node in this case, see Configuring application (action) node properties.

  5. In the Add Node dialog box, complete the following fields:
    • Name  Enter a name for the node. The Caller Application Editor uses this name to identify the node in various node and application displays.
    • Action type  Select from this menu the type of action you want to assign to the node. Menu is the default action type. The choice you make here determines other options available on the General tab of the node’s Properties dialog box. For more information, see Assigning actions.
    • Key press  Displays the touchtone key (also known as the access key) that callers must press to activate the action assigned to this action node.
      Note: You can change the access key at any time. For more information, see Changing the access key assigned to an application node.
    • Description  (Optional, but recommended) Enter a short description of the caller application. This description provides the text that the system displays with the application properties and can be very useful, especially when designing large applications.
  6. Click OK.
  7. The system displays the new application node () under the selected caller application or application action node.
