Escalation Action
The Escalation Action refers to a workflow. When an Escalation Type Level applies then the action causes this workflow to be executed. As it is possible to have one Escalation TypeLevel trigger several actions, the actions for a given TypeLevel are numbered to give them a sequence.
It specifies what should actually happen when escalation occurs (e.g. send an email, remind the group leader, protocol breach of SLA etc.)
