Determine how a control behaves when the user interacts with it. By creating action sets, you can link a specific user behavior (an event) to a desired outcome of that behavior (action).
For example, you can specify that clicking an 'Add to cart' button (event) refreshes the cart in an online shop (action). You can define many events and actions in an action set, and you can create multiple action sets for a single control. For each action set, the system executes the actions in the order in which they are listed.
