The Action Governance view displays all of the actions you can trigger using automations in SysTrack. Actions can be built using the Create Action button or you can import actions that you have built using the offline tool. Before you import new actions into SysTrack, you should make sure that they are thoroughly tested on the relevant systems. Once actions are created or imported they require approval in SysTrack by a user with the proper permissions. Once an action is approved, an automation can be defined to use that action.
Actions
An action is a set of files that includes executable and supporting files. Executable files can be any file type that the target operating system can run natively: for example, batch files, executables, or shell scripts. Supporting files, such as PowerShell, VBScript, or Python scripts, can be called from the executable file.
In the Actions tab, you can view existing approved actions. Actions that are pending approval are listed under the Pending Approval tab.
This is a table view which includes metadata in the following columns:
Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
Approved | Contains the information about whether the action has been approved. |
Enabled | Contains the information about whether the action has been enabled. |
