If an outlet requires some sort of action such as scheduled maintenance, you can mark the outlet as requiring *future action*. If you do this, a message will be sent to the planner if any orders are placed for the outlet. The message will also be printed on the <u>[Running Sheet Report](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RptNC/pages/1986888436)</u>. For repeated orders, the message is sent for the first order in the series.

To mark an outlet for future action, set the outlet's *Future action* attribute.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ The *Future action* attribute takes a list of values. You select one of these values when you set the attribute.
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ If you have not used this attribute before, you must first configure some suitable values. See [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CFGNC/pages/2002026655](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CFGNC/pages/2002026655) for details.

Run the <u>[Future Actions Report](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RptNC/pages/1987543084)</u> to generate a list of orders placed at outlets that are marked for future action.
