# Remedial action

A remedial action runs on an end-user device to resolve an issue. To select remedial action as a resolution type, the remedial action framework must be installed.

With remedial actions, you can trigger an action on the end-user device. With the user’s consent, different remedial action types are available to resolve the issue.

-   Execute an action on the end-user device. The user can create their own remedial action.
-   If there are any existing Virtual Agent topics, these can be populated as a resolution to the end user.
-   When the metric rule criteria are met, a catalog item is displayed for the user to fill in and submit.

To create your own remedial action, see [Configure the Remedial Actions Framework](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-service-management/config-remedial-action-fw.md).
