> #### Creating a compound action

> When you create a compound action, you define one single action based on a number of individual actions that you frequently perform as a series of notification and operational steps in response to an alert. Fathom provides a default compound action you can use called Default_Action.

> To create a compound action:

> 1. Select Library from the menu bar. The Fathom Component Library page appears in the detail frame.
> 2. Click Create Compound Action. The Compound Action page appears:

> 3. Enter the name in the Name field. (This is a required field.)
> 4. Enter the description in the Description field.
> 5. In the Select actions section, select an action in the Available list and click the right arrow. The action you selected moves to the Selected list to be added to the compound action. Also, you can select an action in the Selected list and click the left arrow. The action you selected is removed from the compound action.
> Repeat these additions and/or removals until you have only those actions you want in the compound action in the Selected list:

> 6. Click Save. A summary of the actions that compose the compound action you created appears:

> The compound action you created is added to the list of compound actions you see in the list frame.

> You can now edit, copy, delete, or test the compound action.
