Add an Action
Rules can have more than one action. Although these actions appear to execute sequentially, they execute in parallel, which can lead to unpredictable behaviour.
You can add one or more actions as a part of Rules. Select the action you want a rule to perform when meeting rule criteria.Note: 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 common to all
selected device types displays.
Actions can execute in:
- Parallel
- Sequential
Note: For sequentially actions, configure the reaction type
for a failed action. Choose from:
- Interrupt
- Continue
- Go to action
- Retry
For example, the following enrollment rule has two actions:
"Check In" and "Set State":
Actions Execute in Parallel
In the preceding scenario, you cannot predict which action executes first because both actions execute parallel.
For example, let’s consider a compliance rule being evaluated
along with the above enrollment rule that states when "Device State" is Yellow, set
"Compliance Status" to
Non-Compliant.
The compliance check evaluates unpredictably and either one of the
following outcomes can occur:
- Case 1: If A evaluates after B, the device is compliant.
- Case 2: If B evaluates after A, the device is non-compliant.
