Action Categories
Action categories identify the action templates assigned to the category and the type of action those templates represent. CentraSite includes a set of predefined action categories and custom action categories.
Predefined Action Categories Installed with CentraSite
By default, the policy actions that are installed with CentraSite are grouped into these categories:
ARIS Category
Change-Time Category
Collector Category
Design-Time Category
Global Category
Handler Category
Run-Time Category
WS-I Compliance Category
Custom Action Categories
If you want to enforce policies using actions that are not provided by your CentraSite, you can create your own categories to define the custom actions. For example, a custom category can consist of user-defined actions to enforce policies. You can enforce policies of the custom actions just like you would enforce policies using the system (built-in) actions.
