Action Variables
Importing Actions
When the Net Phone program starts up, it automatically imports actions from the compiled NET_PHN.ACS action file plus all action files (*.ACx) it finds in its startup folder. The last character used in the extension of the file name defines how the action file is treated on importing:
•.ACI – These files are individual actions created by Exporting Actions. These will be imported only when an action using the same action name does not exist in the compiled file. Thus, when this file exists and the user had made changes to this action, the user can revert back to the original operation by deleting the current action in Net Phone then stopping and restarting Net Phone.
•.AC1 – Upon startup, Net Phone always imports all
(*.AC1). When an action of the same name exists, the action will be overwritten. Once imported, the
•.ACO – Upon startup, Net Phone always imports all
•.AC0 – This type of file is only imported at initial startup of the Net Phone or when the compiled actions file “AGT_PHN.ACS” is not found at startup.
These files allow you to design an action, export it, rename it, and then copy the file to all PCs that need that action. These are also useful to overcome a user accidentally deleting an action since they can have a copy of that file on their PC, when they exit and restart Net Phone that action will be restored.
