Action Records

The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the Action family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Action Basis	Text	The basis for the action being created.	This is not a required field.
Action ID	Character	The ID of the action.	Populated automatically from the name of the associated strategy when the action is created.
Action Type	List	The type of action you are creating.	Use the drop-down list to select the type of action.
Condition Monitoring Type	List	The type of condition monitoring for the action.	This field becomes active after the associated strategy is moved to an Active state.
Cost	Numeric	Cost to execute the action in US dollars.	Every time the action is performed, this amount is factored into the Annual Cost and Cost Projection graphs.

Description	Text	A description for the action.	This is not a required field.
Existing Plan	Boolean	Is this action part of an existing plan?	Select the check box if the action is part of an existing plan.
Interval	Numeric	The number of the interval unit corresponding to how often the action should be performed.	This value corresponds with Interval Units to give the complete frequency with which the action should be performed.
Interval Units	List	The unit of the interval corresponding to how often the action should be performed.	This value corresponds with Interval to give the complete frequency with which the action should be performed.
Mandatory	Boolean	The action is required.	This check box is filled if the action is a required action.

Nonrecurring	Boolean	Should the action be on a recurring basis or only once.	Select the check box if you only want the action performed once instead of on a recurring basis.
Performance Interval	Numeric	Reference value for the interval of the performance of the action.	The values in the Performance Interval field is not used in any calculations in ASM. You can use them as reference values, but no logic is executed based on the values. All calculations that require an interval are based on the values in the Interval field and the Interval Units field.
Performance Interval Units	List	Reference value for the interval units of the performance of the action.	The values in the Performance Interval Units field is not used in any calculations in ASM. You can use them as reference values, but no logic is executed based on the values.
