This section describes the steps you follow to add a new trigger rule. Once a rule is added, it can be activated or deactivated for the running application, as described in Activating and Deactivating a Rule. To create a trigger rule, you must at least complete step 1 though step 3 in the following procedure.
The Add New Trigger Rule-Select attribute selection trigger dialog box appears (Figure 3-1).
The Add New Trigger Rule-Set condition for triggering dialog box appears (Figure 3-3).
In this dialog box, you set the properties that define when the rule will be triggered; for example, the threshold at which the rule is invoked and for how long the triggering condition should be sustained before invoking the trigger action.
The Add New Trigger Rule-Select Action dialog box appears (Figure 3-4).
Use this dialog box to identify the type of action you want to occur when a notification is sent. You have a choice of five options:
The Add New Trigger Rule-Select constraints dialog box appears (Figure 3-5).
This is an optional step that allows you to limit when an action is triggered; for example, you might only want your action to trigger every other day of the week or during specific hours. If you don't want to set a constraint, skip step 9 and go on to step 10.
The Add New Trigger Rule-Name your rule dialog box appears (Figure 3-6).
The new rule appears on the Trigger Rules list (Figure 3-7).
Before you can apply the rule, you will need to activate it, as described in Activating and Deactivating a Rule.
