Trigger Events are best thought of as a causefor an Action. Within VI MonitorPlus, Trigger Events occur as the direct result of something that has happened. Once the Event has occurred, it will be followed by an Action designated by the Administrator through the application interface.
Trigger Events can be considered as the “IF” in an “If, Then” statement (IF Trigger event occurs, THEN do this Action). When creating a Rule, the Administrator should first consider which occurring Event needs Events need to have an Action follow it.
Trigger Event Setup
In order to ensure that the Trigger Event will work as desired with the following Action, it is important to determine whether the Event needs to meet Multiple Criteria or if it requires only one Event to occur prior to said Action.
To keep things simple, it is suggested to create the first Rule with as few items as possible. Once the Rule has been successfully created, it will be easier to determine if there is a problem down the line.
