    Telemetry action definitions help admins to configure actions based on a specific telemetry definition version. These records capture actions taken on a telemetry signal from a connected asset. These definitions use a Target Component Path to specify which part of the asset to act on, such as turning off an asset's engine to prevent overheating. Actions are carried out through a series of defined steps, each with specific attributes that determine whether the step retrieves information or executes a remote command.

    Generate a service process from a telemetry action definition record. Review the changes to be made for the Omniscript-based intake form, update the predefined integration definition and activate the generated service process. Create a catalog and category on Unified Catalog for the service process to launch it from the Action Launcher.
