The Response window appears when you click the Create button.

The settings that appear in the window, along with the items that appear in the area on
the left, depend on the action you choose from the Response Action pop-up menu.

Note: If you edit an existing response by double-clicking it in the Response pane, you
cannot change its Response Action setting.

Response Actions

What you choose from the Response Action pop-up menu defines the response’s basic
purpose. Some response actions have additional settings that can be configured in a
second pane that gets added to the column on the left.
