You may create actions in Device ManageR by following the same basic workflow each time, plus a few steps that are unique to the type of action you choose. The steps below show you\u00a0what to do for the default and most commonly-used action type, sending an email.<\/p>\n

To set up an action in Device ManageR, please follow these steps:<\/p>\n

1. Open Device ManageR in your web browser. You may open it by entering ‘localhost:8080’ or ‘<IP address of Device ManageR’s host system>:8080’ in your browser’s address bar.<\/p>\n

2. Select Alerts \/ Tasks<\/strong> in the navigation bar to the left.<\/p>\n

3. In the Alerts \/ Tasks<\/em>\u00a0menu, select Actions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Select Add<\/strong> to add your first action.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_AlertsTasks_Actions_Add\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. In the Add New Action<\/em> window:<\/p>\n

– In Name<\/em>, enter a name for the action. In our example, we’ve called the action ‘Send email to IT Mgr.’<\/p>\n

– (Optional) In Description<\/em>, you may enter any notes you feel would be helpful.<\/p>\n

– In Action Type<\/em>, select the action you wish to execute from the drop-down list. Once you select the action type, options unique to that action will appear.\u00a0In this example, we’ll leave the default action type, Send Email to Configured Contact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

– The unique option for this action is the Contact<\/em> field. In Contact<\/em>, select a contact from the drop-down menu or select Add<\/strong> to add a new one. We’re choosing a contact we created in the previous FAQ,\u00a0How To Create And Edit Contacts In Device ManageR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– In If not successful, retry this Action<\/em>, you may leave the default, 0, or enter a higher number.<\/p>\n

– (Optional) If you wish, you may associate a schedule with this action by selecting Optional Schedule<\/strong> and choosing a schedule from the drop-down list. (If you attach a schedule to the action, it can be performed only during the hours you’ve set up in the Optional Schedule.)<\/p>\n

6. Then select Save<\/strong> to save the action.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_Add_New_Action_EmailITMgr\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You may repeat this process to add as many actions as you wish. Below, we’ve added a total of four email actions, one for each of the four\u00a0the\u00a0contacts we created in the previous FAQ,\u00a0How To Create And Edit Contacts In Device ManageR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_AlertsTasks_Actions_List\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you’ve saved an action, the next step is to put it in an Action \/ Notification List. For more information, please see the next FAQ,\u00a0How To Configure Action \/ Notification Lists In Device ManageR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other Action Types<\/h3>\n
