This article describes the steps to go for creating a simple action. The action - Quick Checkout - will replace the standard checkout action. Instead of offer all the options the checkout of a document will then be a straight forward process without user interaction. It should:

• checkout the document into a dedicated space inside the users home folder
• create this space if it doesn't exist
• after finishing the checkout open this space or the details view of the working copy

Additionally there are changings in the user interface:

• the check out action button is replaced by the quick checkout button
• the edit action button is removed from all documents which have the quick checkout action
• in the details view the edit action is available as button

If that's possible, the quick checkout should be available as an aspect and/or a rule and/or mandatory for special custom content models.
