Action Maps

Action Maps are used to connect an Actions to Rules in pairs, so that Actions can be invoked when a feature is found that does not conform to a particular Rule.

An Action Map consists of as many Rule and Action pairs as are required. Pairs can be added, removed, and edited.

If a feature does not conform to the Rule of a pair, the Action will be invoked.

Action Maps are created and managed from the Action Maps workspace.
