ffr.IActionViewsAction

global interface IActionViewsAction

You can use the ffr.IActionViewsAction global interface to invoke custom actions from Action Views.
To use this interface you must:

Write a custom Apex class for the action. The Apex class name (including <prefix>.) must not be more than 60 characters.
Implement the ffr.IActionViewsAction interface.
Provide four methods for the class. These methods are detailed below.

Further Notes:

The Apex class must include error handling.
The Apex class must return a status message to the user interface (for example, Success or Failed).
The Apex class must inform the user interface if a refresh is required (so that the latest status information can be displayed).
It is essential that you test custom actions in your sandbox before putting them into production.
