5.5.2 Setting the execution conditions and details of automated actions

You can use the GUI of JP1/IM - View or the definition file to set the execution conditions and details of automated actions. This subsection describes both methods.

Note:

If you have upgraded your installation of Central Console from version 11-10 or earlier, you must update the definition file.
