If JavaScript actions have been enabled from the Admin console's Client Security options, users can opt to execute JavaScript in the browser. To create a JavaScript action, write an expression in PQL in the text editor; the output when the action is selected will be JavaScript. You can incorporate the Generative PQL Function into your statement to have results returned by the underlying LLM.
Configure a JavaScript Click Action
- Start by selecting Execute JavaScript from the Action Type list.
- Type your JavaScript into the script editor.
- Add PQL functions to your script by dragging them from the Functions library.
- Click Validate to test your script.
- Click Apply to save the jump action.
