Create Action Rules

In Automation Center, action rules are typically created from unprocessed exceptions to leverage the automatic pre-filling of key exception details from the exception to the action rule. You can also create action rules from scratch via the Create New button on the toolbar where you will need to fill in all the required details.

To create an action rule in Automation Center:

  1. In the Exceptions workspace, search for exceptions you wish to resolve and from which you wish to create action rules.
    In this example, we will search for all MTOPEN/BUY exceptions from 11/3/2015 that were handled by the EAGLEADMIN user.

    Search for Exceptions
  2. Click the green Search button.
    You see a list of exceptions based on the criteria you entered.

  3. Right click an exception and select Create Action Rule From Selected.
    In this example, you will create an action rule to resolve Error Code 742.
