A '''click action allows you to interact with an object with a single left click'''. In addition, each click action has a special cursor indicating what it does. This makes using objects easier, especially for new Residents. For example, if you set a box to the '''Buy object''' click action, a customer will see a "$" cursor as they hover it. They can then purchase it by clicking once, then clicking again to confirm the purchase.

You can easily see all the available click actions in a few, well, clicks:
 
# Right-click an object and select '''Edit''' from the pie menu.
# Click the '''General''' tab, if it isn't already selected.
# Look under '''When Left-Clicked'''.
 
== Click action types ==
 
=== Touch/grab (default) ===
 
*  No special click action is used.
* If the object is scripted, it responds to what it's programmed to do when touched (clicked on).
* "Grab" means if you hold down Ctrl (PC) or Cmd (Mac), the cursor changes to a hand, and you can move objects you have permission to.
 
=== Sit on object ===
 
* The cursor changes to a chair when you hover over the object.
* When clicked, your avatar sits on it (or tries to).
* The same result as right-clicking the object and selecting '''Sit Here'''.
* This also makes it easier to sit on an object instead of right-clicking and choosing '''Sit Here''' repeatedly, which tends to result in "No room to sit here..." error messages on narrow and odd-shaped objects.
 
=== Buy object ===
 
* This requires the object to be set for sale.
* The cursor changes to a "$" when you hover over the object.
* When clicked, a Buy window appears, then you can purchase
* The same result as right-clicking the object and selecting '''Buy'''.
 
=== Pay object ===
 
* This requires a script in the contents to work, and is a common alternative to '''Buy object'''  when choose-your-own-price flexibility, stats tracking, and other options are needed.
* The cursor changes to a stack of coins when you hover over the object. When clicked, a pay window appears
* The same result as right-clicking the object and selecting '''Pay...'''.
 
 
=== Open ===
 
* You must own the object and it must have contents to open it.
* This is very useful if you sell content which is intended to be packaged and "unwrapped" from boxes.
* The cursor changes to an open box when you hover the object. When clicked, an Object Contents window appears.
* The same result as right-clicking the object and selecting '''Open'''.
 
=== Play parcel media ===
 
* The same result as clicking the Play button on your toolbar, only more immersive since it's inworld.
* The same result as
 
=== Open parcel media ===
