Modify an Action Template

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

To modify an existing action template:

  1. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator or a user with the Manage Action Templates privilege.

  2. Select the Actions option from the Tools menu in the main menu. The Actions page appears.

    The Actions page is split into two parts. Action templates (if any) you have defined are listed on the left. When you select an action template on the left, its details appear on the right.

  3. Locate and select the action template you want to modify in the list on the left.

    You can locate an action template using the search bar on the top left side of the Actions page. You can also filter the action template by the data source to which they apply using the drop-down list on the top left side of the Actions page. When you do this, only action templates for the selected data source configuration are shown in the list.

    The properties for the selected action template appear on the right side of the Actions page.
