Adding and editing a Recurring Action

Recurring Actions provide users with the ability to fire actions based on a regular schedule, independent of the status of devices. Among other things, this can be used to send regular heartbeat messages to a pager or cellular phone, letting users know the system is up and running.

Note: Recurring actions can be configured to adhere to a blackout schedule.

To add or edit a recurring action:

1. Click Admin, then select Recurring Actions.
2. Click New to create a new recurring action or from the list of recurring actions, select the action you want to change, and then click Edit.
3. Type or select the appropriate information in the following fields.
   • Recurring action name. Type a name for the recurring action.
   • Select an action. Select an action from the pull-down box. This list displays all actions in your Action Library that you can configure as a recurring action.
   • Click the ... button next to the Select an action box to launch the Action Library. In the Action Library, you can create a new action to configure as the recurring action.
