Action has no inputs, outputs or alarms

Action ‘x’ contains no inputs, outputs or alarms, and does not seem to serve any other purpose. Please remove it or add inputs and outputs to the action.

This message means: The action with name 'x' has no inputs, outputs or alarms and seems to serve no purpose. Please delete it or add inputs and outputs.
