The attributes and parameters that constitute a mashup action object have the following components:

var PegaGadgetSample = { actionDefinitions: [ { action: "", actionMapping:"", target: { type:"", name:"" } config: { systemID:"", appName:"" thread:"" } pageURL: "", params: { harnessName: "", className: "", model: "", flowName:"", page: "", readOnly:"", key:"", workID:"", UserDefinedName:"" }, popup:{ options:"" gadgetReference:"", } } ] }

With the actionDefinitions section, you can define the following tasks:

• Specify an array of actions. For the list of possible actions, see the "Mashup object actions" section.
• Map an action to another action, typically in another mashup, with the actionMapping attribute. For the list of possible target types, see the "Mashup object target types" section.
• Use the config attribute to specify the systemID, appName, and thread values for the target mashup. Specify $INHERIT as the value for each parameter to make the value in the target gadget the same as in the current mashup.
• Repeat the same action multiple times with the same or different targets.

In the params section, the listed parameters are action-specific. The parameters match the action-specific attributes for the mashup. For more information, see Mashup attributes.

Mashup object actions

The following actions can be defined inside a mashup object:

openNewWorkItem

Opens a new work item.

createNewWork

Navigates the mashup to the new harness specified in the starting flow.

closed

Runs when the harness indicates that a user closed the harness. You cannot use the closed action as the action in an action mapping, only as a source action.

confirm

Runs when the system loads the harness. You cannot use the confirm action as the action in an action mapping, only as a source action.

display

Shows the harness that is specified by the harnessName and className parameters.

getNextWorkItem

Navigates the mashup to the work item selected by the GetNextWork feature.

loaded

Runs when the system finishes loading the harness. You cannot use loaded as the action in an action mapping, only as a source action.

openAssignment

Navigates the mashup to the specified assignment and displays it in the harness that is specified in the assignment.

refresh

Reloads the mashup by using the most recent mashup action. The refresh action reloads or reprocesses any data references in the mashup.

Mashup object target types

The target types for the action definitions include the following items:

_self

The same mashup.

_gadget

The mashup specified by name with the name attribute.

_popup

The pop-up defined with the popup attribute.

_top

The web page that hosts the mashup.

_page

The web page that is specified with the pageURL attribute.

Mashup action object example

In this example, a mashup that the host page displays as GadgetA opens an assignment in another mashup that the host page displays as GadgetB. When the assignment is finished, GadgetB refreshes the work list in GadgetA.

<div id="PegaGadgetA" style="overflow:auto" data-pega-gadgetname="PWGadgetA" data-pega-action = "display" data-pega-harnessName = "PegaWebAssignList" data-pega-classname = "Assign-Worklist" data-pega-isreadonly = "true" data-pega-threadname = "ThreadA" data-pega-applicationname = "AutoClaim" > <script> var PWGadgetA = { actionDefinitions: [ { action: "openAssignment", target: { type: "_gadget", name: "PWGadgetB" } } ] }; </script> </div> | <div id="PegaGadgetB" style="overflow:auto" data-pega-gadgetname ="PWGadgetB" data-pega-threadnamePegaThread = "ThreadB" data-pega-applicationnamePegaAppName = "AutoClaim" > <script> var PWGadgetB = { actionDefinitions: [ { action: "confirm", actionMapping: "refresh", target: { type: "_gadget", name: "PWGadgetA" } } ] }; </script> </div>
