Standalone Action Configuration

A standalone action captures a repeatable logical function you can use with in-scope hosts and users.

  1. Click the Templates tab in the tree pane.
  2. If necessary, expand the Hosts tree in the Templates tab.
  3. Expand the Standalone Actions folder, right-click the action you want to use, and select Clone and Activate
    The pre-configured Standalone Action is copied and activated, the Active tab is selected in the tree pane, and the new active Standalone Action is selected in the tree. If necessary, the new standalone action is appended with a number to make it unique. 
    Note: The original pre-configured standalone action remains in the templates tree.
  4. Enter configuration information.
    1. Click the standalone action to display its configuration tabs.
    2. Edit the action. See Standalone Action: Action Tab.
  5. Click Apply to save your work.
Important: If you leave any of these panels without clicking Apply, your work will not be saved. You can configure the native UI to prompt to you click Apply when changes are made. See Other system options. However, in the web UI, this is not valid. In the web UI, if you make updates to a host and then click a part of the product not related to a host, for example any of the buttons in the banner, the product will not prompt you to click Apply and your updates will not be saved.
