Actions Window

The Actions window contains a grid of the actions relevant to the simulation currently displayed in the Network page. The window is displayed in the middle of the Network Page beneath the GeoPlan Window.

Actions to be carried out are set up in an Action List in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager. The actions are triggered based on the generation of a defined alert.

Note that actions are only triggered by an alert generated from a baseline simulation. Actions will not be triggered by alerts generated from variant simulations.

To display the window, click the Actions tab in the middle of the Network page, or select Actions from the Window menu.

Window description

Field Description
Action ID

The name of the action.

Action names are specified in the Action List set up in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager.

Status

The current status of the action. This field may be edited by selecting an option from the dropdown list:

Tip: Editing action statuses may be permissioned in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager and therefore will not be available to ICMLive Operator Client users who have not been granted rights to perform this operation.
  • Enabled (inactive) - action will be carried out when triggered by an alert. The status of the action will then be changed to Enabled (active). Whether the action is carried out the next time the alert trigger occurs is governed by the Repetition control for the action set in the Action List in ICMLive Configuration Manager.
  • Enabled (active) - whether the action is carried out when triggered by an alert is governed by the Repetition control for the action set in the Action List in InfoWorks ICM Ultimate or ICMLive Configuration Manager.
  • Disabled - action will not be carried out.
Tip:

Note that it is possible to turn action generation on or off for all the actions associated with a run by setting appropriately the Include actions run option of the Run Window.

Number of occurrences

A counter of the number of times the action has been carried out when triggered by an alert occurring in consecutive simulations.

This field is updated automatically.

The maximum number of times the action will be carried out when triggered by an alert in consecutive simulations is set in the Action List.

When a simulation is carried out in which the trigger alert does not occur, the counter will be set back to 0.
