The data items in the /metadata/actonco2/actions category contain information used to generate actions and in tips in ActOnCO2 v2. This information is used by client-side code (sometimes referred to as middleware) to decide when a particular tip/action should be triggered and what information should be displayed to the user.

If an action is triggered then the client-side code will create a profile item in AMEE. The user can then select a subset of these actions which they wish to carry out, in which case isSelected is set to true on these profile items. Once a user has carried out an action ''isDone'' should be set to true.

An action will be displayed if three conditions are met: condition1, condition2 and condition3. The three conditions should be combined with a boolean AND operator (i.e. they all have to be met) or, if useOr is set to true, with a boolean OR operator (i.e. only one condition needs to be met).

Conditions are specified in either two or three colon-delimited parts of the form:

category:drill condition:profile item value condition

though the third part is optional.

Condition examples

/home/heating/uk:type=*old*

means that the condition is met if a profile item exists in the /home/heating category with the drill down option ''type'' set to a value containing the word old.

!/home/energy/uk/price:EMPTY

means the condition is met if the /home/energy/uk/price category is not empty, i.e. it contains one or profile items. The exclamation mark (!) indicates the NOT boolean operator should be applied.

/metadata::greenTariff=yes

means that the condition is met if any profile item in /metadata has the ''greenTariff' profile item set to yes.

/home/heating/uk:type=*house*|*bungalow*|*maisonette*

means that the condition is met if a profile item in /home/heating exists with the drill down option ''type'' is set to value that contains house or bungalow or maisonette.
