Overview 11
In the activity properties dialog box, several tabs along the left side provide
access to general and specific settings for the activity. Although the number of
available tabs for activity properties differs from activity to activity, all
activities have a General tab, a Properties tab and/or Filters tab, and a Run
Behavior tab.
General Tab
This tab contains the Name and Description properties for the activity. By
default, the Name of the activity is the same as its activity type, and the
Description is blank. You can modify these properties to create more
descriptive names or provide detailed descriptions of the actions of the
activity.
Properties Tab
This tab contains properties that are specific to the activity.
All activities in this integration pack have the Configuration Name property
at the top of the Properties or Filters tab. This property is used to specify the
Dell AIM or Dell AIM Object Type configuration, depending on the activity
that is being defined.
To configure the Configuration Name property:
• Click the ellipsis (…) button next to the Name field, and then select the
applicable configuration name. Configurations displayed in the list have
been previously defined as described in Configuring the Integration Pack
for Dell AIM Configurations
Filters Tab
The Get activities use filters to control which Dell AIM objects are returned.
Property values of potential candidates are compared to the values of the
filters to determine if they meet the criteria. When matching against values,
you select one of the available relations.
Equals: the property of the object exactly matches the text or number
specified in the filter.
Does not equal: the property of the object does not exactly match the text or
number specified in the filter.
