Action Editor Properties Tab

Use the Properties tab to review or define information about the action and to define how the action realizes.

Field	Use
Action Type	Displays the functional area to which the action belongs, such as Service or Technical. Click Select to define the action with a different action type.
Subject	Displays the conceptual model entity with which the action is associated. Click Select to associate the action with a different entity.
Extend Subject	If selected, indicates that the data elements defined on an associated conceptual model entity are inherited by the action.
Target	Select the resource (or, in a limited number of scenarios, the resource facing service) against which the technical action family runs.
Key	Enter a value to enable the Order and Service Management order transformation manager to identify the payload of a line item at run time. The default value for this field is the name of the entity. You can define a different key value for an entity if your business processes require a naming convention less restrictive than then entity name requirements.
Implementation System	Define the system where the application entity is used. Select one of the following: Select None if the action will not be realized as an application entity. You select this option, for example, if the action is intended for informational use only. Select Unified Inventory Management if a service action will be realized as an entity used in the Design Studio for Inventory application. Select ASAP if the technical action will be realized as an entity used in the Design Studio for ASAP application. Select Other System if the action will be realized as an application entity that will be used in a system other than Unified Inventory Management. Note: The design patterns that are delivered with Design Studio and that realize the conceptual model entities add configuration to your workspace only if you define this field with the Unified Inventory Management value.
Realization Design Pattern	Select which design pattern converts the action into an application entity and creates the application entity configuration in the workspace.
Implementation Method	Specify the application entity into which the action realizes. Select: Activation Service Action Structure to realize technical actions in Design Studio for ASAP projects as service actions (CSDLs). None if the action will not realize as a Design Studio entity. If you select this option, the Realization Design Pattern field is not available. Other Action if the action will not realize as one of the available Design Studio entities but if you want to select a custom design pattern from the Realization Design Pattern field to generate code. See Design Studio Developer's Guide for more information about creating custom design patterns. Ruleset Structure to realize service actions in Design Studio for Inventory project as rulesets. Scan Action Structure to realize technical actions in Design Studio for Network Integrity projects as scan actions.
Run Realization Design Pattern Automatically	Select to synchronize the action and application entities automatically. When you select this option, Design Studio runs a design pattern automatically when you: Save the Action editor. Change the action using an option that you select from the context menu. Manually synchronize or realize a direct child of the action. See "Synchronizing Conceptual Model Entities with Application Entities" for more information.
Realized By	Displays the name of the application entity realized from the action. This field is blank if the design pattern selected in Realization Design Pattern has not yet run.
