The Action tab defines the nature, the type and the duration of an action that an activity executes. It contains the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Action type | Specifies the way the action should be executed (for documentation purposes only). You can choose between:
A text box is also provided in which you can detail how the action is executed. For example, you can write pseudo code or information on the program to execute, as well as open, insert and save any text files. |
| Duration | Specifies the estimated or statistic duration to execute the action. This information is for documentation purposes only; estimate on the global duration is not computed. |
| Timeout | Zero by default. If the value is not set to zero, it means that a timeout exception occurs if the execution of the activation takes more than the specified timeout limit. You can type any alphanumeric value in the Timeout box (example: 20 seconds). |
