Add and configure an action

You can add an action to the project root folder or an Applications folder. It is common to group action items together under an Applications folder in the System Configuration folder, or at the top of a plant hierarchy.

To add an action

1. In Studio, right-click the project root folder or an Applications folder, point to Add Item, then point to Standard Items, then click Action. A new Action item appears.

   

2. Rename the action with a meaningful name.

3. Depending on the type of action item you want to configure, proceed to the relevant section:

   • Configure a manual action item

   • Configure an action item based on start

   • Configure an action item based on dependency

   • Configure an action item based on subscription
