Understanding actions

Each action in Delivery Manager is designed so that it serves one of 4 purposes:

Release actions are used to release deliverables, or to prepare for releasing deliverables.

USoft routines mimic existing routines that are offered by one of the USoft tools.

Utilities perform some general action such as copying or dropping a folder in the file system. Delivery Manager offers data management utilities in particular.

These 3 types of action are discussed in the following sections.
