Creating a New Action Based on an Existing Named Action

You can create an action based on an existing named action.

For example, suppose that your organization has an existing named action Send Message that sends an email message. Its parameters include a recipient, subject, message, and priority. You can create an action that is based on this Send Message action that sends a high priority message. To do so, you provide a high priority value for the priority parameter and save the new action with a new name, such as Send High Priority Message.

To create an action based on an existing named action:

1. Edit the existing named action on which you want to base a new action. The "Edit Action dialog" is displayed.

2. Specify any changes that you want.

3. Click Save As and specify the save as criteria in the dialog.
