Actions are the building blocks of a Workflow. Each action runs an operation on an input and produces an output — usually a Corvic Table or a Space. This page is a quick reference for every action, what it applies to, and where to learn more.

Embedding types

The Embed action can produce several types of Space, depending on your data:
TypeUse for
SemanticText — semantic search and RAG
TabularStructured/tabular encoding
ImageImage embeddings
RelationalGraph/relational structure (often after Graph Builder)
See Embed and Graph Builder for details.

UI label ↔ capability

For reference, the user-facing action labels map to these underlying capabilities:

Available actions are context-aware: the + menu on a node only shows actions valid for that node’s type. Some capabilities are used internally by templates and may not appear directly in the menu.
