Add an Action

Select the action you want a rule to perform when meeting rule criteria.

The list of actions that are available in the Action list depends on the device or devices to which this rule applies. If you select devices of different types, actions display only for those devices that are common to all the selected device types.

Rules can have many actions. Although these actions appear to execute sequentially, they actually execute in parallel, which can lead to unpredictable behaviour. For example, the following enrollment rule has two actions, Enroll and Set State:

Rules with multiple actions run in parallel

In the following scenario, you cannot predict which action executes first because both actions execute in parallel.

Unpredictable results occur when multiple rules evaluate in parallel

The compliance check evaluates unpredictably and either one of the following outcomes can occur:
  • If A evaluates after B, the device is compliant.
  • If B evaluates after A, the device is non-compliant.
