Action Group

You can create an action group that performs up to 32 actions. After creating such an action group, you can easily assign this set of actions to an event rule rather than selecting all needed actions one by one per rule.

  1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules. The Event Rule Settings dialog appears.
  2. Click the Actions tab.
  3. Click New.
  4. In the "Action name" field, type a new name for the action. The default name is New Action <number>, where <number> is a sequential number starting at 1.
  5. In the Action field, click the drop-down arrow and select the desired action: Execute an action group.
  6. To mark an action as part of the action group, select it from the Available Actions list box, and click Non-critical outlet Arrow--left to move it to the Used Actions list box. To make multiple selections, press Ctrl+click or Shift+click to highlight multiple ones.

    To move all actions to the Used Actions list box, click Add_all button. A maximum of 32 actions can be grouped.

  7. To remove an action from the action group, select it from the Used Actions list box, and click Non-critical outlet Arrow--right to move it to the Available Actions list box. To make multiple selections, press Ctrl+click or Shift+click to highlight multiple ones.

    To remove all actions, click Delete_all button.

  8. Click OK.
  9. To create additional action groups, repeat Steps 3 to 8.
