Quick Actions

Last published : Sep 21, 2026
Quick Actions brings the operations you perform most often on policies, patterns, and tags into a single place, so you can start a task without navigating to each page first. Selecting an action opens the corresponding workflow, and for actions that apply to a specific item, the system prompts you to choose the item.
To open Quick Actions, select Quick Actions in the left navigation pane.

The Quick Actions screen is organized into three sections—Policies, Patterns, and Tags. Each section shows an at-a-glance statistical summary and a set of action tiles.

Summary

Each section displays live counts that summarize the current state of your environment. The counts refresh automatically after you create, change, or delete an item, and a changed value is briefly highlighted.
Section Statistics
Policies Total policies, Enabled, Custom
Patterns Total patterns, Total built-in patterns, Total custom patterns
Tags Total tags, Total built-in tags, Total custom tags, Alert notification enabled
Note: The Alert notification enabled count for tags appears only when alert notification settings are enabled for your tenant.

Each action tile opens the relevant workflow. Actions that apply to an existing item first prompt you to select the item. The available actions differ by section.

Finding a quick action

If you are not sure which tile you need, use the I want to search box at the top of the screen. Enter a plain-language phrase that describes what you want to do, and Quick Actions shows the matching action tiles under Search results.
The search understands common wording, so phrases such as create a policy, make a copy of a policy, export a tag, or test a pattern resolve to the correct action. To clear the search and return to the full list of sections, select the clear (✕) icon, remove the text, or press Esc.
