  • Create Object: Creates a new object and performs any operations on the newly created object. For details, see Create Object

  • Act on Related Object: Performs operations on related objects. For details, see Act on Related Object

  • Relate To: Adds a relation between the current object and another one. For details, see Relate To

  • Unrelate: Removes a relation between the current object and another one. For details, see Relate To

  • External Command: Runs a PowerShell command or script. For details, see External Command

NOTE: All operations except for E-mail Notifications are executed in the order they appear in the list. To reorder operations, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

For a complex workflow configuration that involves the creation and modification of other objects, you may need to use variables. A variable in Alloy Navigator is a named item for holding a single data value. You can use variables to pass values to other operations within the Function or the Programming section of the Action or Trigger.

  • Declare Variable: declares a variable.

  • Set Variable: assigns a value to the variable.
