A Cyclic Action is an Action defined by a Standard Action, of Action Type ‘Cyclic’:
It provides a configurable cycle for a regular interval of operation, set in its Schedule Configuration section. See Standard Actions for details and business rules.
Action Cycles must be generated from a Standard Cyclic Action, before Assets of the Asset Type that owns the Standard Cyclic Action, can have Cyclic Actions created for them. See How To Configure and Use Cyclic Actions for details.
