Actions

Actions enable you to trigger processes that run automatically before and/or after publishing.

Actions

Selecting an action link displays a window where you add the required information, such as files, locations, or login information. When the information has been added the window is closed and the action is added to the Actions List.

Standard actions include:

• Files: copy, move, or delete files
• Zip: used to zip files into an archive
• Command Line: execute user defined functionality through the standard command line
• FTP: transfer files to a remote location
• XSL Transform: process user defined XSLTs
• WebDav: used to move/upload documents to a web server or web share

Each action is described in more detail in the following topics.

Actions List

Use the Actions List to tell Author-it when the action should be performed.

Note: When an action is saved it is added to the Before Publishing list. To move the action to the After Publish list select the action and choose the Move Down arrow.
