In Dev Studio, search for and open an existing Section form.

If the section is based on a template, in the header of the section editor, click convert to full section editor, and then confirm the conversion.

In the header of the layout to which you want to add an action, click the View properties icon.

In the Layout properties window, on the Actions tab, define the action set:

1. Click Create an action set.

   Result: A table with a new action set appears.

2. In the action set table, click Add an event, and then select the user behavior that triggers the action set.

   For example: Create a layout that you can click to open the shopping cart, by selecting Click as the event.

3. In the action set table, click Add an action, and then select the action that the user triggers when interacting with the control.

   For example: Assign the action of opening the shopping cart to the layout, by clicking All actionsDisplay: Section.

4. If the action that you select requires additional configuration, complete the configuration form.

   For example: Define the section that holds the shopping cart interface and set the main container as the target in which you want to display the shopping cart with the Section action:
   1. In the Section field, enter ShoppingCart.
   2. In the Target list, select Default.

5. To add more action sets, repeat 4.b through 4.d for every additional action set.

   Note: Although Pega Platform does not limit the number of actions that you can add to a layout, adding too many might result in a confusing and crowded UI. You must also carefully consider the sequence of actions, and ensure that, for example, actions that post values to a clipboard precede actions that use that clipboard value in a data transform.

6. Click Submit.

On the section form, click Save.
