The automated actions are executed upon the system-generated content when the one or more conditions are satisfied. The exemplary automated actions may comprise transform, retrieve, update and alert. The conditions can specify, for example, when to perform the automated actions. Active tags may optionally be attached to or embedded directly in the system-generated content or in a document containing the system-generated content.
