- Action Recognition
- Additional action recognition criteria can be configured by selecting the following individual settings.
- String before leading token
- String. This value specifies the string before the leading token. The default value is a space.
- Leading token type
- String. This value is the type of token this host application uses for the host command. In the example where 1=Edit, the 1 token is the host command, and its type is a digit. In the example where A=Edit, the A token is the host command, and its type is a letter. The allowable values are Digit, Letter, Show both. The default is Show both.
- Maximum length of leading token
- The maximum length of the leading token. The default is 4.
- Delimiter
- String. This value is the token used in the subfile action to delimit the host command from the description of the host command. In the example where 1=Edit, 1 is the host command, the = token is the delimiter, and Edit is the description of the host command. The allowable value is one or more strings concatenated by the vertical bar (|). The default is =. Example: =| = |-| - |:.
- End delimiter
- String. This is used to recognize the end of a subfile action item description. Separate multiple character with a vertical bar (|).
- Must be specified color

- Color
- See description for the previous setting.
- High intensity
- String. This value specifies whether the subfile action uses the high intensity field attribute. The allowable values are Yes, No, Don't care. The default is Don't care.
- Actions not required
- Select this box if you want the subfile to be recognized even if it does not have any actions. The subfile header, data, and marker are still recognized and rendered.
- Consume non-empty rows immediately above the actions
- Select this box if you want rows on the screen that contain text immediately above and adjacent to the actions, which meet the recognition criteria (color and/or intensity), consumed but not displayed by the subfile widget.
