Custom Actions dialogs

There are two implementations of the Custom Actions dialog:

The User Custom Actions dialog is used to create and edit custom actions that apply only to the current user.
This dialog is displayed by selecting File | Database settings | User custom actions.
The Shared Custom Actions dialog is used to create and edit custom actions that apply to all users.
This dialog is displayed by selecting File | Database settings | Shared custom actions.

Note: Shared custom actions can be edited only by users with permission to change database-wide settings. If a user does not have appropriate permissions, the OK button on the dialog will be disabled.
