Actions are processes triggered by events. They may be performed by a person, team or automated process.

UML

Action entity

The Action entity provides a common base class for the ToDo, Meeting, and the EngineAction entities. It indicates an action that either needs to be taken, is in progress, or has been taken.

ActionRequester relationship

The ActionRequester links the source for the action, such as a person, meeting or a governance action, to the Action entity.

Actions relationship

The Actions relationship links the Action entity to the reason or cause of the necessary action. This is so we can distinguish between the creator (source) of the Action and the element (specific rule, project, incident report, deliverable, situation or plan of action) that is being supported/resolved by the action.

ActionTarget relationship

The ActionTarget relationship associates a ToDo entity with one or more elements to work on. The attributes are:

  • actionTargetName - The name to identify the action target to the actor that processes it.
  • status - The status of the work on this element
  • startTime - Date/time that work started on this element.
  • completionDate - Date/time that work stopped on this element.
  • completionMessage - Message to provide additional information on the results of acting on the target by the actor or the reasons for any failures.
