Action Catalogs

Action catalogs are action containers, where you can categorize your actions based on various criteria. The catalog in which an action resides is set at action creation using the task creation activities in Studio.

Important: Action catalogs cannot be deleted.

Only existing action catalogs can be linked to actions generated by Persistence activities (Create Form Task , Create External Task) or by activities using Generic Tasks APIs (Create Validation Action,Create Classification Action).

To manage action catalogs, navigate to the Admin Settings page in Action Center.

Admin Settings

The Admin Settings page displays all the folders in your tenant and allows you to create or update action catalog in every folder you have access to.

To access the Admin Settings page, click on the More Options menu from the top navigation bar of the Actions tab.

To Create a New Action Catalog:

1. Select the desired folder.
2. Click Add New Catalog. The Create Catalog wizard opens.
3. Enter a Name (mandatory) and a Description (optional) for your catalog.

4. Select the Store in encrypted format checkbox if you want to have the linked actions encrypted in the database.

   Important: Selecting the encryption checkbox encrypts the actions (that is, task data) that are associated to the current action catalog. Actions that are not linked to any action catalog do not get encrypted.
