SaveToDB Actions Menu Overview

The Actions menu contains items configured as event handlers with the Actions event type.

You can use this menu to perform various tasks, such as:

• Executing database procedures to update data in batch mode
• Running macros
• Executing Windows Shell or CMD commands to load, update, or verify text data files
• Opening related websites and online documentation
• Adding, modifying, or deleting items in database directories
• Running drill-down queries
• Printing documents in HTML format
• Generating document numbers
• Resetting query parameters and clearing form data

From a technical perspective, the menu supports:

• Executing stored procedures and SQL code
• Running macros and Windows Shell or CMD commands
• Executing HTTP and text file queries
• Selecting data from database tables and views

The menu adapts based on the active table query.
If there’s only one table on a worksheet, that table is used by default. This behavior differs from the Context menu.

When a menu item query has parameters, the Query Parameters dialog box appears by default, allowing users to modify parameters and confirm the action.
