Assigning Quick Actions to A Lightning Page

We learned all about quick actions in the Using Actions in Salesforce1 chapter, where we created and configured an action using point-and-click tools. Actions you want to use for your Lightning Pages must first be created and configured in the full Salesforce site, but unlike objects, where you add the action to a page layout declaratively, actions on Lightning Pages must be specified in the XML.

Only global quick actions are supported for Lightning Pages.

When a user visits an app page in Salesforce1 or Lightning Experience, only the actions that you specify for the page are displayed. If you haven’t specified any actions, no actions appear.

In this exercise, we’ll be adding a pre-configured global action to the Lightning Page. This action lets our drivers schedule a delivery while on the road.
