Actor – Symphonix

Each actor has a category and type.

Do not name a division or actor as Main.
The Actor's name must be unique.
The Actor's name is case insensitive. For example, the BusinessName and businessname are duplicate values.
With Portal version 4.2, when a Portal administrator adds an actor with an actor name used before in the same VF page or Nav, a confirmation dialog box is displayed. If the administrator accepts using the same name again by clicking on the Reuse option, the previously used actor is copied and added. If the administrator does not want to reuse the same actor, the administrator can rename the actor, after clicking on the Rename option on the confirmation dialog box.

This feature is implemented across all the actors or divisions across all stages.

category	type
component.tsx	list view, queue view, card view, detail view, base panel, data model
content.tsx	static content, page include, authenticated header
container.tsx	steps, tabs

Features

Individual actors can be exported using the "Export Actor" option at the actor level
This option at an actor level will also export all its dependencies – Overlays, Global Variables.

For now, this feature is available only for Simple actors and not for Nested actors like Tabs, Steps, Accordions.

3.7	Current	TBC

Exported actor files can be imported using the "Import Actors" option at the global header level.
On importing the file, the actor will be available in the actor list and can be added to any part of the application using the existing "Define Division" Flow.
Once the actor is added to the layout, sometimes it is required to save the portal configuration and reload the page to see the actor fully functional as a few pieces of JSON, like component structures need to be saved in the backed for the remote action query to be successful.
It's recommended to save the config and reload the page once the actor is added to the layout to see it fully functional.
