# Configure action items

# Configure your action item to use your grouped input UI parameters {#ariaid-title1}

Configure the action item on your button so that you can use the values that your
users scan in.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. From your grouped input record, click the reference icon (![Reference icon]()) next to the Button field, and then click Open record to open your function record.
2. From your function record, click the reference icon (![Reference icon]()) next to the Action item field, and then click Open record to open your action item record.
3. Modify the Execution Script field to use your grouped input UI parameters.  
   These parameters are contained within the input object.
   You can access the parameters by using this format:
   `
   `<kbd class="ph userinput">input.grouped_input_name</kbd>`[`<kbd class="ph userinput">input index</kbd>`]["`<kbd class="ph userinput">UI Parameter Name</kbd>`"]`. For example, if you have a grouped input
   called <kbd class="ph userinput">add_asset</kbd> that has a UI parameter named
   <kbd class="ph userinput">Serial number</kbd>, you would use
   `input.add_asset[0]["Serial number"]` to access the first
   serial number asset.

   In this example, the script checks the length of
   input.add_asset to see how many items were scanned.
   It then adds an asset for each scanned item using the scanned-in serial
   number and asset tag.

   Note:  
   * The action item type must be set to Script to display this Execution Script field.
   * In the above script example, the addAssetToStockroom() function is a custom function that has been created by the user. For more information, see [Configure an action function](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Clw~fmue2YlJYvk2pIh2DA "Action functions enable the user to change something in the database. For example, making an update or adding a comment to a record requires an action function.").

## What to do next

Your button is configured for multi-scan, and your users can begin creating records. For information on using the mobile scanning interface, see [Multi-scan for mobile applications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/YeKCkqAc4ZWwGbXPiS751A "Use multi-scan to quickly scan multiple barcodes or groups of codes. With multi-scan, you can input information for your assets faster than manual entry or individual scans.").
