Linking actions in presentations


This recipe will show how to further improve and automate the presentation in workflows by linking actions into the presentation. This is done to present to the user only a specific list of options derived on runtime.

Getting ready

We will create a new workflow and reuse the action we created in the Working with actions recipe in this chapter (see the com.packtpub.vCO-Cookbook module in the example pack).
