What is the purpose of using a Dialog in the Action property for record actions?

Using a Dialog in the Action property for record actions allows for data entry without losing context. This is particularly beneficial in applications where maintaining the user's focus and ensuring continuity of their workflow is essential. When a dialog is implemented, it overlays the current interface, enabling users to input or modify data related to a record without navigating away from their current location within the application.

This enhances user experience by preventing disruptions that typically occur when redirecting users to new pages or sections of an application. Instead, users can see their current context and have the necessary information readily available while performing tasks, which leads to increased efficiency and a smoother interaction process.

In contrast to other options, such as moving to a new location, displaying notifications, or accessing user settings, the primary function of a dialog is centered around facilitating data entry in a focused manner.
