Currently the only option to Add New Actions is from within the Alert Wizard by either Adding or Editing an Alert. This process as well tends to create Actions upon Actions and unless you name them, things can get lost if you are trying to Assign Actions. I like keeping things clean, and naming my actions - especially the dynamic setups that I use in multiple(sometimes similar) alerts.
I want to be able to create, or at least copy and edit the Actions from the Action Manager so I can set the Actions first and then Assign them to the Alerts when I get to that stage of the setup.
A little different from the current flow/design of the application, but a tremendous upside for manageability.
*EDIT* Additional option: Allow separate import option for Alert Actions as well as an option for Adding them through Separate workflow
Just add one sweet little button to this view; "+Create New Action"
*UPDATE* : Add 2 +Buttons, +Add Action & + Import Action
