**To view information about these actions in USM Anywhere**

1. In USM Anywhere, go to **Data Sources > BlueApps**.
2. Click the **Available Apps** tab.
3. Search for the BlueApp, and then click the tile.
4. Click the **Actions** tab to display information for the supported actions.
5. Click the **History** tab to display information about the executed orchestration actions.

## Launch Actions from Vulnerabilities

You can launch an action directly from vulnerabilities. If you want to apply an action to similar events that occur in the future, you can also [create orchestration rules](/documentation/usm-anywhere/alienapps-guide/qualys/rules-alienapp-qualys) directly from the action applied to a vulnerability.

**To launch a Qualys response action for an alarm or event**

1. Go to **Activity > Vulnerabilities**.
2. Click the vulnerability to open the details.
3. Click **Select Action**.
4. In the Select Action dialog box, select **Run Qualys Action**.
5. Select the app action and fill out the fields that are populated below.
6. Click **Run**.

   After USM Anywhere initiates the action for the vulnerability, it displays a confirmation dialog box.

   If you want to create a rule to apply the action to similar items that occur in the future, click **Create rule for similar vulnerabilities** and [define the new rule](/documentation/usm-anywhere/alienapps-guide/qualys/rules-alienapp-qualys). If not, click **OK**.
