Actions are the individual operations specified in each row on the Defination tab of a Data Transform .The system invokes the actions at run time. Most actions do some kind of data manipulation. Other actions perform conditional processing and iterate through page lists and page groups.In the action coloum select the apppropriate action that you want to do.

Next, enter the Target, Relation,and Source. Depending on the selected action, the Target field has a different meaning.
