public class DataItemActionType

extends AbstractEnumerationObject

Specifies the different types of actions that can be performed on a data item. These actions are categorized into a few different groups: Steps, Sorts, Usages, Commands, and Other. Steps encapsulate all actions that need to be ordered and are implemented by the Step Model. Sorts groups all of the possible ways a DataItem can be Sorted. Usages (Detail, Category, Aggregation) define the way a DataItem is to be used. Commands are simply business metadata for the common application actions that may be written. These types are not honored directly by the DataItem; however, the information is persisted with the DataItem for use by an application. Other is for actions that do not fall into these categories.
