An automatic
action is a workflow step that performs a predefined activity
without human intervention. WorldServer provides many automatic actions, available from the
. These are available to you as you create workflows.
- SDK and Automatic Actions
- The WorldServer Software Development Kit (SDK) also offers additional automatic actions that let users create functions that can be applied to project tasks without requiring user input at the point of execution. In addition, users can create their own customized automatic actions for including in WorldServer. See the
WorldServer SDK User Guide for more information.
- System User in WorldServer
- Some operations in WorldServer are run by the
System user. The System user is an internal context used to run background operations when a real user is not available. For example, all automatic actions run in the System user context. Any operations that report user information as they run record
System if run in the System user context. For example, if a workflow uses the
Save automatic action and this action has
Update TM? set to
True, the TM entries generated by the automatic action have
System as the entry creator and modifier.
