Configuring the Generic Data Wizard Action Type

The Generic Data Wizard action type launches a specified metadata wizard. See Administering Metadata Wizards for information on metadata wizards.

Follow these steps to link a wizard to a dashboard button:

1. From the General tab on the Button Properties form, select Generic Data Wizard from the Action Type drop-down field.
2. Select the Action Properties tab.
3. Enter the Target Entity for the wizard in the field provided. (Each wizard is linked to a Target Entity.)
4. Select an available wizard from the drop-down list based on the Target Entity you selected.
   • Note that only wizards with a scope of Global or Application are available for selection. Application-scoped wizards are only available if you are working with a dashboard linked to the wizard's specified application.
      
5. Click OK to save the button.
