  3. Click the Object Features tab.

    The custom action is located on the Actions menu.

You can also create a button in the Conga Grid toolbar for your custom action:

  2. Change the return value to true.
  3. Click OK.

Delete Custom Actions

Conga Grid custom actions are stored as Salesforce static resources. You can delete custom actions from the Salesforce Static Resources page:

Rename Custom Actions

To rename a custom action:

  1. Click Conga Grid Setup.
  2. Select the object associated with the custom action.
  3. Click the object Features tab.
  4. Click the Edit link next to the name of the custom action. For example: 

    A custom action name has two components:
    • Action Name: The name of the action as it appears under the Actions tab of Conga Grid Setup. The figure in Step 4 shows an example.
    • Label: The name of the action as it appears in the Actions menu in the Conga Grid Explorer.
  5. To change the Label, find the getLabel line of code in the Custom Action screen. Then modify the text in the return statement. For example: 
  6. To change the Action Name, enter the same name in the Action Name field and in the itemID line of code. The names must exactly match.

  7. Click OK.

    The itemID must have the same value throughout the custom action's Javascript code.
