The Configure Actions feature in Enlivy allows you to customize which actions appear directly in the user interface for a specific entity (such as Invoices, Reports, Playbooks, Guidelines, Users and many more).
Instead of always using the ⋮ three-dot menu, you can expand certain actions and display them as quick-access buttons: making your workflow faster and more intuitive.
What Are Actions?
Actions represent the operations you can perform on an entity. These can include common operations such as:
- View – Open an item and see its details.
- Edit – Modify the item.
- Reuse – Duplicate or use an existing item as a base.
- Delete – Remove the item from the system.
- Download – Export or retrieve a copy of the item (such as a report, invoice, or document) in a usable format.
Each entity in Enlivy (e.g., invoices, reports, users) can have its own set of actions. By default, most of these actions are accessible from the ⋮ three-dot menu in the table view.
Expanded Actions
When you enable an action as Expanded, that action will appear as a dedicated button in its feature dashboard (main table), visible alongside each item.
- This eliminates extra clicks.
- Frequently used actions become instantly accessible.
- You decide which actions are worth expanding.

- Example: Go to Reports from the left-side menu.
- Open the Configure Actions Panel
- Click the ⚙ cogwheel button in the top-right corner.

- A list of available actions is displayed.
- Use the Expanded checkbox to enable quick-access buttons for the actions you want.
