Customizing UI actions according to specific organizational needs enhances the functionality and user experience of the EmpowerID platform. This article provides detailed instructions on how to create and customize UI actions within the Noun-Verb-Action model.

Prerequisites

Before creating custom UI actions, ensure you have administrative access and are familiar with the basic concepts of the Noun-Verb-Action model, as discussed in the overview article.

Procedure
