# Set up post actions

For some steps in a data entry workflow template, you can define post actions. You can use a post action to run a menu item.

You can only define post actions for a step in one of these cases:

- The step is the last step of the data entry workflow template. The defined actions are done when the workflow is finished.
- For the step, the Transfer to target field is set to Yes. The defined actions are done when entered data is transferred to the target.
