      Actions Basics

      Actions are system commands that - triggered by triggers - can initiate processes or change the state of objects.

      Basics

      Actions are assigned to triggers and executed in an ongoing training by triggering the triggers. Thus, they are the second pillar of interactivity in 3spin Learning.

      You can assign as many actions as you like to a trigger and thus form action stacks. With the execution mode for action stacks you can define in which way the action stack is processed.

      You can change the order of actions in an action stack simply by dragging and dropping, pressing the mouse button on an action, dragging the action to the gap between two other actions of the same stack, and releasing the mouse there.


      3spin Learning provides the following actions for you:
