Add Action - Action Steps Tab
The Action has a reference to the list of steps to be performed as part of the work flow.
These steps could involve other modules like Reports and Maps, or could be simple internally defined steps such as Shell Execute commands, a custom script, or bespoke SQL statements.
It is these steps that define the tasks that the Action performs.

Any Action Steps that have been created for the Action will be listed under the Action Steps Tab.
To edit any existing items, single-click on the item.
To remove any unwanted Action Steps, double-click on the item and confirm when requested.
Each Action Step type has its own editor screen that displays in the bottom half of the Action Steps tab.
