How do I set up a new Action?

Before you can assign someone to an action, you need to setup the action. In this example, you will be creating an action of a Political Lobby Day.

To create a new Action, click the “Actions” button in the Module list.

Enter the Action Name, Date, and Action Type.  If you don’t see a good description of the type of Action in the list in the drop-down menu, you can always add a custom Action Type by clicking on the Dot Box and entering a new Action Type.

Understanding Metrics

Metrics is a feature that will help you set and achieve goals related to actions. In this example, the union has set a goal of visiting 30 Senators and 10 Assembly Members.  Later when you add individuals who participated in a particular action, you can record the number of Senators and Assemblypersons the person actually visited.
