Selecting an action's target

The target is the object or location to which the action is applied. Different targets are available based on the action selected.

Use the Target list in the Action and Target group on the Action ribbon to select from the following targets:

Target Setting	Description
Previously Visited Page	This target can be used with the Go To action. When the action is executed, it will take the user to the previously visited page, regardless of its location within the title.
Chapter, Section, or Page	This target can be used with the Go To action. When this target is selected, you can select a specific chapter, section or page from the Name list. If the location selected is scrollable, you can also choose to automatically scroll to an object on the page. Select the object from the Scroll To list. If the content on the page fits within the viewing window without requiring a scrollbar, this setting has no effect. When the action is executed, it will take the user to the location and scroll point specified. When this target is used, you have the ability to open the target location in a new window.
