Most actions require setup options to be defined before the program is able to execute them. For example the program needs a mail server address to send an e-mail notification, etc. This topic describes defining properties of each action type setup (some action types do not require setup).
The action setup may be edited in the program options window and during creation of an action or when editing its properties.
