Define Action Types

Each action item is defined in terms of an action type. There are default action types for the user to choose from. You can also create additional action types if you want the user to have additional options when they are creating action items.

To define an action type:

  1. Select the Define Action Types task from the paths listed at the top of this topic.
    The Action Type page appears. All of the currently defined action types are displayed in the left frame.
  2. Click Add New in the Edit Task frame.
  3. Enter a value for the Action Type name field. Make sure to start the name with "MOVE -", such as "MOVE - SIGNS".
  4. If you want the action type to generate a work request, select Yes in the Auto-Create Work Request field.
  5. If you want, you can enter cost and description information, as well as additional instructions for the action type.
  6. Click Save to save the new action type you have defined.
  7. Click Requery in the left frame.
    The new action type appears in the Action Type list.
