In my environment I have a Smart Action for a collection. Editing the layout I can see that the smart action exists, but it’s not shown in the `Actions` drop down menu.

## Expected behavior

The existing smart action is supposed to be shown in the `Actions` drop down menu.

## Actual behavior

The smart action is not shown in the `Actions` drop down menu.

## Failure Logs and evidences

This is the Layout Editor perspective:

As you can see, there is a smart action.

And this is what I get when I exit from the Layout Editor: the smart action is not shown:

In this collection, I have a couple of Segments. But there’s no resctriction for the Smart Action with the segments:

The problem happens in all the segments.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t figure out which is my mistake 🤷‍♂️. May you help please?

Thank you in advance.

## Context

~~The problem only occurs in the environment `stg-datamix`. I can see the smart action in the enviroment `dev-datamix` (same backend software underneath).~~

~~I tried to copy layout from `dev-datamix` to `stg-datamix` and all the settings get copied. But the smart action is not shown.~~

**Edit:** The two above sentences are not true, I was wrong. It’s the same problem in both environments.

Hi @Matteo 👋

Thank you for your feedback 🙏. Could you share the configuration (the code in `forest/my-model.js`) of your smart action? Also, could you check if you see it in your `.forestadmin-schema.json` file of your `stg-datamix` environment?

Just to be sure, is it a [bulk action or a global action](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/actions#triggering-different-types-of-actions)? Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you try to use it as a global action (without selecting any records) so I would like to double check the configuration is OK.

Hi @rap2h.

Thank you for your feedback.

I’m afraid my question was stupid. Sorry. I was just forgetting to select the records to apply the smart action to.

Sorry again for the question.  
Thank you.
