Use your navigation function as a quick action if users need to frequently access the
launcher.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

Quick actions appear on screen launcher pages and serve as a quick way to provide shortcuts to commonly used screens and actions. Add your navigation function as a quick action to give your users an
easily accessible shortcut to the launcher defined in your navigation function.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem MobileMobile App Builder.  
   The Mobile App Builder opens in a new browser tab and displays the application scope selection screen.
2. Search for the application scope you are working in and then select the name of the application scope.  
   The Mobile App Builder categories home screen displays.
3. Select the Screens category, and then select the screen where you want to add the quick action function.
4. In the Quick action function instance section of the screen record, select New.
5. Complete the following fields as necessary.

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | The name of your quick action. This name is internal and isn't visible to end users. |
   | Description | Additional information about the quick action. |
   | Display label | The label for this quick action. Use a value to inform your users of what the action does. In this case, you could use the name of the destination screen launcher. |
   | Order | Optional field that you can use to set the order that the UI functions appear. If you have quick actions, set Order. |
   | Active | Toggle that turns the quick action on and off. If the toggle is enabled, the quick action will be enabled. |
   | Disable offline | Toggle that turns the quick action off when the device is offline. |
   | Icon | The icon that appears for the quick action in the UI. |
   | Function placement | The function used by this quick action. These fields are automatically populated. |
   | Button Emphasis | The button emphasis for the quick action. This selection affects the color of the button. For a navigation function, select Primary or Secondary. These colors are determined by your mobile theme. For more information on configuring a legacy mobile theme, see [Create a theme for your mobile applications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6YzAUHpSG5Ysl6Bt_wu44Q "Use mobile themes to give your applications a unique appearance that works with your company identity."). |
   | Function | The function used by this quick action. Select the navigation function you wish to assign to this quick action. |

launcher you defined in your navigation function.
