Work with Sequences and Evaluations

The platform's inventory of Sequences can be viewed in the Sequence Library and its Evaluations are available in the Evaluation Library. These two libraries have the same elements with one exception: Run All Actions is only available in the Evaluation Library. Both Libraries are also similar to the Action Library.

This topic discusses the Library elements, available features, and running content. Information on creating Sequences and Evaluations is available in Creating Sequences and Evaluations.

1. Go to Library > Sequences.

   • You can use the Filters (any mix of Tags, Content Source, Last Run Status with AND/OR operators), or search functionality to help identify the specific content that you want to run. You can use the Sort By option to reorder the results by Name, VID, Modified, Last Added, Last Run, or Total Runs.

   • Clicking on a Sequence in the Sequences pane updates the Sequence Preview pane with that Sequences-specific Name, Description, Actions, and Tags (if applicable).

   • When there are Actions in the queue, the Queue button appears next to the Add Sequence (or Add Evaluation) buttons.
   • The Add Sequence button displays, allowing you to add a new Sequence.

2. After selecting a Sequence, the Sequence Preview Pane reflects different functions you can do with the Sequence.

   • Run: Displays the map and groups of Actions; this is where you select Actors to use for each group when the Sequence runs.
   • Run Bulk: Displays Source and Destination Actor tag fields for each group in the Sequence
   • + Queue: Adds the Sequence groups into the queue (for use when creating Sequences and Evaluations)
   • Clone and Edit: Creates a copy of the Sequence and allows you to customize it; or enables editing of the Sequence (user-created Sequences only)

     NOTE: If a Sequence is part of a Monitor, you will only be able to edit the Name and Description. If you want to add or remove Actions, or change the grouping you need to either delete the Monitor or clone the Sequence.

   • Clone: Creates a copy of the Sequence and allows you to customize it
   • Delete: Enables deletion of the Sequence (user-created Sequences only)

3. After clicking Run, the Assign Actors and Map page displays. There are five menu options and a sixth option for selecting Actors.

   

   Selecting Actors for a Sequence

   1. Description displays the Sequence's description.

   2. Run displays the Job Definition form where you can review the Actor selections and submit the Sequences to run.

   3. + Monitor displays the Monitor Definition wizard for creating a Monitor.

   4. Clone and Edit displays the Edit Sequence interface that enables changes to the Sequence. (user created Sequences only).

      

      Editing a Sequence

   5. Delete removes the Sequence from the platform (user-created Sequences only).
   6. Assign Actors: Use this to choose your Source and Destination Actors for each Group.

Sort Sequences and Evaluations

You can sort sequences and evaluations using the Sort by drop-down next to the search field. This drop-down list allows you to sort by Name, VID, Modified, Last Added, Last Run, and Total Runs. 

For clarity, this section only discusses the Sequence Library. If you go to Library > Evaluations, the same information applies.

• Go to Library > Sequences.
• From the drop-down, choose an option for sorting the content: 
  • Sort by Name: The Sequences appear in alphabetical order in the results list.
    

    Sort by Name

  • Sort by VID: The Sequences appear in numeric order in the results list.
    

    Sort by VID

• Sort by Modified:The Sequences appear by when they were last updated.
  

  Sort by Last Updated

• Last Added: The Sequences appear when they were last added (with a New indicator, if they were added in the last two weeks).
  Sort by Last Added
• Last Run: The Sequences appear when they were last run, including the last run status.
  

  Sort by Last Run

• Total Runs: The Sequences appear based on the total number of times that they were run. The Preview pane lists the Latest Runs.
