$Action Class usage in Developer Guide
Hi Salesforce Support and Forum Members,
I opened this link (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.198.0.pages.meta/pages/pages_variables_global_action_valid_values.htm) and found that there are lots of interesting features which we can implement using the $Action global variable in VF pages but unfortunately there is no documentation on its usage and how we can leverage them in Visualforce.Since the actions specified in the above link seem quite useful , I would like to get some examples on how to use them or if there is any detailed documentation (with examples).
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SIMPLE ACTIONS SUCH AS EDIT or NEW BUT COMPLEX ONES SUCH AS GOOGLEMAPS,YAHOOWEATHER.
If you have implemented any of those then I would really appreciate your guidance.
Thanks,
Jitender
