Define actions available on a search form with the actions property on the ComponentSearchPresenter object:

Example

<bean id="EnvelopeSearch" class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.ComponentSearchPresenter" scope="prototype">
	<property name="actions">
		<list>
			<ref bean="myAction1" />
			<ref bean="myAction2" />
		</list>
	</property>
</bean>

By default, these actions are only visible once the search has been executed. To change this behaviour, you can add the following property:

<property name="enableActionsIfDirty" value="false" />

Types of action

Component creation

An action can be added to allow users to create a component from a search form. This type of action pre-indexes the component to be created based on the search criteria.

For example, if a user searches for a document in the Invoice class with a status tag whose value is paid, then the action will create a document with the same information.

Example: Folder creation

<bean id="EnvelopeSearch" class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.ComponentSearchPresenter" scope="prototype">
	<property name="actions">
		<list>
			<ref bean="createComponentFromSearchAction" />
		</list>
	</property>
</bean>

<bean id="createComponentFromSearchAction" class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.action.ComponentCreationActionPresenter">
	<property name="componentRef">
		<bean class="com.flower.docs.domain.component.ComponentReference">
			<property name="category">
				<value type="com.flower.docs.domain.component.Category">FOLDER</value>
			</property>
			<property name="id">
				<bean class="com.flower.docs.domain.common.Id">
					<property name="value" value="Agency" />
				</bean>
			</property>
		</bean>
	</property>
</bean>

Screen change

GoToPlaceActionPresenter type actions are used to switch screens.

Example: Go to a task creation screen with verification

<bean class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.action.GoToPlaceActionPresenter">
	<constructor-arg type="java.util.List">
		<list>
			<bean class="com.flower.docs.domain.i18n.I18NLabel">
				<property name="language" value="EN"/>
				<property name="value" value="Create envelope"/>
			</bean>
			<bean class="com.flower.docs.domain.i18n.I18NLabel">
				<property name="language" value="FR"/>
				<property name="value" value="Créer une enveloppe"/>
			</bean>
		</list>
	</constructor-arg>
	<property name="place">
		<bean class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.CreateWithVerificationPlace">
			<property name="id">
				<bean class="com.flower.docs.domain.common.Id">
					<property name="value" value="EEnvelopeSearch" />
				</bean>
			</property>
			<property name="category">
				<value type="com.flower.docs.domain.component.Category">TASK</value>
			</property>
		</bean>
	</property>
</bean>

Activation

Control when an action is available with the enablingStrategy property. Built-in strategies:

Whatever the search results (default): AnyResultEnablingStrategy

<bean class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.action.AnyResultEnablingStrategy" />

Only if the search leads to no results: NoResultEnablingStrategy

<bean class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.action.NoResultEnablingStrategy" />

If the user has selected a certain number of components based on an operator: MultipleComponentsEnablingStrategy This activation strategy has two properties:
- operator: The operator used to evaluate the number of components selected. The following operators are available: EQUALS_TO, GREATER_THAN, LESS_THAN and DIFFERENT.
- componentsCount: The number of components
Example: Activating the action, if the number of selected components is equal or more than 2.
```
<bean class="com.flower.docs.gui.client.search.action.MultipleComponentsEnablingStrategy">
    <property name="componentsCount" value="2"/>
    <property name="operator">
        <value type="com.flower.docs.domain.search.Operators">GREATER_THAN</value>
    </property>
</bean>
```
