Cymph supports executing playbooks that consist entirely of manual steps, giving operators a structured, trackable way to carry out procedures that don’t rely on automated tooling. Rather than treating manual work as a gap in coverage, Cymph turns it into a first-class workflow: each step is acknowledged, timestamped, and recorded as part of a workbook, creating a full audit trail of what was done, by whom, and when.

Executing via the playbook management system

Playbooks can be executed either via the playbook management system or via the editor. Each execution is named. In order to execute a playbook from the management system:
  1. Open the action menu for the playbook you want to execute
  2. Select Run Playbook from the action menu
    • If the option is disabled, this means that the playbook is ineligible for execution.
Run Playbook Menu
  1. Provide a name for the execution and optionally a description in the dialog that appears
    • At this stage you can also change the default assignees. If you have edit access to the playbook, an **Edit Assignees **will appear. By clicking on it, a playbook editor will open in a new tab
  2. Click on Run Playbook to start the execution. You will be redirected to the execution editor
