 ## Actions
 
 Array of operations that can be performed upon each record. Each action is an object with the following properties:
 
-- `id`: string, required. Unique identifier of the action. For example, `move-to-trash`.
-- `label`: string, required. User facing description of the action. For example, `Move to Trash`.
-- `isPrimary`: boolean, optional. Whether the action should be listed inline (primary) or in hidden in the more actions menu (secondary).
-- `icon`: icon to show for primary actions. It's required for a primary action, otherwise the action would be considered secondary.
-- `isEligible`: function, optional. Whether the action can be performed for a given record. If not present, the action is considered to be eligible for all items. It takes the given record as input.
-- `isDestructive`: boolean, optional. Whether the action can delete data, in which case the UI would communicate it via red color.
-- `perform`: function, required. Function that takes the record as input and performs the required action.

+-   `hideModalHeader`: boolean, optional. This property is used in combination with `RenderModal` and controls the visibility of the modal's header. If the action renders a modal and doesn't hide the header, the action's label is going to be used in the modal's header.
