Performing Actions on Individual Items
Overview
You can execute an Action Set against an item or a selection of items in the list. Items must be on the same page. You cannot assign an Action Set to items across multiple pages unless you use the Select entire list option. DryvIQ creates an ad-hoc scan to execute the action.
Items are tenant-specific, so if you are using a multi-tenant environment, you need to be signed in to the correct tenant to view items and perform ad-hoc actions.
For archive files, DryvIQ always executes the actions against the container, never against the subfiles. If you select subfiles in the Content list and use the Perform actions button to assign an action set, DryvIQ executes the action set against the archive file, not the selected subfiles.
Select the box next to the items. (You can also select the entire page or list if preferred.)
Click Perform actions.
Select an Action Set from the list. (You can click Create new Action Set to create a new set if an existing set doesn’t meet your needs.)
Click Save.
You will see a message indicating DryvIQ will apply the actions in the background. Click OK to acknowledge this message.
DryvIQ creates an “Ad-Hoc Actions” content scan named using the date and time it was made. The scan will be treated like a document set scan since ad-hoc actions can be applied to items across multiple connections.
Selecting to view the child scans for an ad-hoc action scan displays all the connections with items impacted by the ad-hoc action scan.
As with all child scans, you can use the More Actions menu (…) to view the contents of the child scan, but for ad-hoc scans, this displays only the items to which the selected action set will be applied.
The main ad-hoc scan executes immediately after it is made and only once to create the necessary child scans. The child scans will execute immediately after being made and only once so DryvIQ can apply the action set. Once all child jobs have been successfully executed (status of Completed), DryvIQ will delete the ad-hoc scan (including all affiliated child scans).
