About Recurring Actions

This feature provides users the ability to fire actions based on a regular schedule, independent of the status of devices. Among other things, this can be used to send regular 'heartbeat' messages to a pager or cellular phone, letting the user know the system is up and running.

Once an action has been configured through the Action Library, use this dialog to configure the schedule for the action. The recurring action list shows the name of the action and the recurring schedule configured for that action.

Note: Recurring actions can be configured to adhere to a blackout schedule.
