Adding an Action Template to a Custom Action Category
You can add an action template to a custom action category and save it to CentraSite.
To add an action template to a custom action category
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Policies > Action Templates.
2. Click Add Action Template.
3. If a custom action category does not exist, the Add Action Category dialog box appears, prompting you to create a custom action category.
After you create a custom action category, the Add Action Template page appears and is described in the next step.
4. In the Add Action Template page, do the following:
In this field... | Do the following... |
Category | Select the action category for which you want to add the action template. |
Name | Type a name for the new action template. Follow these guidelines:  An action template name must be unique. An action template name can contain any character (including spaces). |
Description | (Optional). Type a description for the new action template. This description appears when the user displays a list of action templates in the Policy Information panel. |
Type | No action is necessary. By default, CentraSite sets the action type to Programmatic for a design-time or change-time action and Axiomatic for a run-time action. |
Uploaded File | Click the Browse button and upload the action's rule (Java Zip file). Note: | Alternatively, you can download the rules used by the system action templates, and modify them for use with the custom action template. |
|
5. In the Scope panel, do the following:
In this field... | Specify... |
Object Types | Select the type of objects to which this action template applies. |
Event Types | Select the type of events to which this action template applies. Note: | Not all event types are supported by all objects. |
|
6. Click Save.
Upon saving the action template, CentraSite displays the Edit Action Template Detail page. You use this page's Parameter Templates profile to add parameter templates for this action.
