# Configure your action item to use your grouped input UI parameters

Configure the action item on your button so that you can use the values that your users scan in.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  From your grouped input record, click the reference icon \(\[Omitted image "gac-info-icon.png"\] Alt text: Reference icon\) next to the **Button** field, and then click **Open record** to open your function record.

2.  From your function record, click the reference icon \(\[Omitted image "gac-info-icon.png"\] Alt text: Reference icon\) next to the **Action item** field, and then click **Open record** to open your action item record.

3.  Modify the **Execution Script** field to use your grouped input UI parameters.

    These parameters are contained within the **input** object. You can access the parameters by using this format: ``input.grouped_input_name`[`input index`]["`UI Parameter Name`"]`. For example, if you have a grouped input called `add_asset` that has a UI parameter named `Serial number`, you would use `input.add_asset[0]["Serial number"]` to access the first serial number asset.

    In this example, the script checks the length of **input.add\_asset** to see how many items were scanned. It then adds an asset for each scanned item using the scanned-in serial number and asset tag.

    **Note:**

    -   The action item type must be set to **Script** to display this **Execution Script** field.
    -   In the above script example, the addAssetToStockroom\(\) function is a custom function that has been created by the user. For more information, see [Configure an action function](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/sg-studio-config-action-function.md).

## What to do next

Your button is configured for multi-scan, and your users can begin creating records. For information on using the mobile scanning interface, see [Multi-scan for mobile applications](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/sg-multi-scan.md).
