Use the Action editor to configure an action. To access the Action editor, double-click an action entity. The tabs in the Action editor depend on the type of action.
When using the Action editor to configure an action, see the following topics:
Use the Details tab to specify general details about the action.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Description | Enter a short description of the action. |
| Implementation Prefix | Displays the implementation prefix. Design Studio creates the implementation prefix from the entity name and removing any invalid Java characters. |
| Abstract | Select to specify whether the action is abstract. See "About Abstract Actions for Network Integrity" for more information.
If the action is abstract, then it can only be used as a component within another action. If the action is not abstract, then it can be deployed and a scan can be executed from it. |
| Address Handler | Specify the address handler for the action. Use the Select button to choose an address handler from a list of dependent cartridge projects.
This field appears for assimilation, discovery, and import actions only. |
| Result Categories | Add result categories to the action.
This field appears for assimilation, discovery, and import actions only. |
| Documentation | Add any other information about the action. |

Use the Result Source tab to view and manage the result sources on discrepancy detection and discrepancy resolution actions.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Result Source table | Adds a result source to the action. Result sources come from the result category on discovery, import, or assimilation actions.

Use the Realization tab to associate the Network Integrity action with a conceptual model technical action.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Realizes | Opens the selected technical action in the Action editor. |
| Select | Associates the Network Integrity action with a conceptual model technical action. To select from the available conceptual model technical actions, there must be a dependency defined between your Network Integrity cartridge project and the Model project in which your conceptual model is saved. See "Managing Cartridge Dependencies" for more information. |
