Triggers

A trigger is a certain condition within a Rule that has to be met before the corresponding Action of that rule is executed. In order to choose a condition for a rule, first open the "Rule Creation" window by Creating/Modifying a rule and from section 2 select one of the supported triggers.

In the "Rule Creation" window there are four categories of triggers to choose from:
