# Actions

Actions in Foundry allow users to easily define meaningful building blocks for creating, editing, deleting, and linking object data.

For example:

* A "Create New Flight" Action creates a new `Flight` object and sets the `Flight Number`, `Time of Departure`, `Origin`, and `Destination` properties on that object.
* A "Delay Flight" Action modifies an existing `Flight` object to delay its `Time of Departure` property.
* An "Assign To Flight" Action links a `Flight` object to a `Passenger` object.

To learn how Actions can be used in Workshop, see [Use an Action within Workshop](../actions-use/index.md#use-an-action-within-workshop).
