Create an action configuration record for a form or list action and copy the action configuration record's sys_id.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

An action configuration is a record that defines how and where a declarative action is used in a Configurable Workspace.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllNow Experience FrameworkDeclarative Actions and select either Form Actions or List Actions.  
   An Action Assignment record opens.
2. Select the Action Configurations related list tab.
3. Select New.  
   A new UX Actions Configuration record opens.
4. Complete the following fields:  

   Name
   :   Enter a name for the action configuration.

   Description
   :   Enter a description for the action configuration.
5. Select the Additional actions icon (![]()), and select Copy sys_id.  
   The action configuration record's sys_id is copied to clipboard. You'll need to use the sys_id in UI Builder to display the action on a workspace page.

   For example, you can display a restricted global list action on a specified workspace page. For instructions, see [Restrict a global list action to a workspace page](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9jO~yLPRwtE7RU3AktrACw "Configure a global list action to display only on a specified workspace page.").
6. Select Submit.

## Result

An action configuration record is created for the form or list action, and the action configuration record's sys_id is copied to clipboard.
