Add, Edit, or Delete an Action

An Action is a function (such as a group of Add, Edit, Remove, or Delete an Attribute assembled to perform a function) sent to equipment running a SIMPL program that supports the specified Action. An action can turn equipment on or off, or it can trigger a function. Actions can be sent to a room or group of rooms in the same node and they can also be overridden for a room. Actions can also be scheduled to occur on specific days and times through the Schedule tab in the RV Monitoring module. Crestron Fusion provides a number of default actions which appear in the Apply Action drop‑down menu in the tree view of the Monitoring area. These actions include system broadcasts, Capture parameters, custom actions, as well as display and system power actions.
