# 4. How to Create an Action

The **Actions** module is where you log every client interaction—notes, calls, comments, etc.—across all your projects. This guide walks you through each click, field, and next step, so even brand-new users can follow along confidently.

##### 1. Open the Actions Module

1. **Locate the left navigation bar** on your screen.
2. **Find the “Actions” icon** (it looks like a small calendar with a check-mark).
3. **Click “Actions.”**
4. The main **Actions** table will load on the right.

##### 2. Understand the Actions Table

At the top you’ll see controls:  
**Filter** (funnel icon)  
**Search…** (text box)

Below is the table header row:

<div class="_tableContainer_16hzy_1" id="bkmrk-column-what-it-shows"><div class="_tableWrapper_16hzy_14 group flex w-fit flex-col-reverse" tabindex="-1"><table class="w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)" data-end="1666" data-start="827" style="width: 97.8571%;"><thead data-end="886" data-start="827"><tr data-end="886" data-start="827"><th data-col-size="sm" data-end="844" data-start="827" style="width: 26.1649%;">Column</th><th data-col-size="sm" data-end="886" data-start="844" style="width: 73.8125%;">What It Shows</th></tr></thead><tbody data-end="1666" data-start="947"><tr data-end="1006" data-start="947"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="964" data-start="947" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Action date**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1006" data-start="964" style="width: 73.8125%;">When the action occurred (sortable)</td></tr><tr data-end="1066" data-start="1007"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1024" data-start="1007" style="width: 26.1649%;">**UID**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1066" data-start="1024" style="width: 73.8125%;">Unique, auto-incremented ID (ca000001)</td></tr><tr data-end="1126" data-start="1067"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1084" data-start="1067" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Type**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1126" data-start="1084" style="width: 73.8125%;">Category (Note, Call, Comment)</td></tr><tr data-end="1186" data-start="1127"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1144" data-start="1127" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Subtype**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1186" data-start="1144" style="width: 73.8125%;">Secondary category (if enabled)</td></tr><tr data-end="1246" data-start="1187"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1204" data-start="1187" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Client**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1246" data-start="1204" style="width: 73.8125%;">Which client this action is for</td></tr><tr data-end="1306" data-start="1247"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1264" data-start="1247" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Project**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1306" data-start="1264" style="width: 73.8125%;">Which project the client belongs to</td></tr><tr data-end="1366" data-start="1307"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1324" data-start="1307" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Creator**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1366" data-start="1324" style="width: 73.8125%;">Who logged the action</td></tr><tr data-end="1426" data-start="1367"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1384" data-start="1367" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Responsible**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1426" data-start="1384" style="width: 73.8125%;">Who will follow up</td></tr><tr data-end="1486" data-start="1427"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1444" data-start="1427" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Created at**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1486" data-start="1444" style="width: 73.8125%;">When the record was created</td></tr><tr data-end="1546" data-start="1487"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1504" data-start="1487" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Updated at**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1546" data-start="1504" style="width: 73.8125%;">Last edited timestamp</td></tr><tr data-end="1606" data-start="1547"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1564" data-start="1547" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Text**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1606" data-start="1564" style="width: 73.8125%;">The body of your note/comment</td></tr><tr data-end="1666" data-start="1607"><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1624" data-start="1607" style="width: 26.1649%;">**Actions**</td><td data-col-size="sm" data-end="1666" data-start="1624" style="width: 73.8125%;">Edit ✎ or Delete 🗑️ controls</td></tr></tbody></table>

##### 3. Add a New Action

**3.1. Open the Add Form:** Click the **+ Add** button in the **top-right corner**.  
A panel slides in from the right titled **Add action**.

**3.2. Fill in the Fields**

</div></div>> **Note:**
> 
> **UID** is generated automatically when you click **Save**.  
> If **Subtype** doesn’t appear, your admin must configure Subtypes under **Configurations → Actions → Subtypes**.

**3.3. Save Your Action:** Click the **Save** button at the bottom.  
The panel closes and you’re returned to the table.  
Your new action appears at the top (sorted by **Created at**).

##### 4. Verify &amp; Manage Your New Action

**Locate** it by its **UID** or the **client’s name** via the **Search…** box.  
**Filter** by Type, Subtype, Responsible, or date using the **Filter** drawer:

1. Click the funnel icon.
2. Tick the fields you want to filter (e.g. “Type = Call” and “Responsible = Alice”).
3. Click **Apply**.

**Edit**: Hover over the row, click the ✎ icon in the **Actions** column to update any details.  
**Delete**: Click the 🗑️ icon to remove an action (you’ll see a confirmation prompt).

##### 5. Troubleshooting Tips

**“Invalid Date”**? Make sure you pick a valid **Action date** or leave it blank—don’t enter text.  
**No Subtype list**? Ask your admin to add Subtypes under **Configurations → Actions**.  
**Responsible field empty**? Ensure you have at least one Employee created under **Employees**.

**Congratulations!** You’ve successfully logged an action. Repeat these steps for each client interaction to build a complete, searchable history of all your work.
