Adding Triggers

Triggers are criteria used to start a workflow process. There are three types of triggers with various options that will be explored further below.

Field Commit

1. Drag the trigger from the left panel onto the field.
2. Click the cog wheel in the top left of the new element to access its settings.

3. Type a name in the field based on the element’s function.
4. Select a field from the dropdown. You can select multiple fields by clicking the dropdown again.
• Using multiple fields in the same trigger implies the filter for each field must be true to start the process.
• If no fields are selected, then anytime COMMIT is clicked on a document, the workflow will start.

5. Choose the filter type for each field chosen in step 4.
• Each Data Type has its own filter options.
• Text Fields have the following options:
Equals – when the value in the text field matches the filtered value upon commit.
Does not equal – when the value in the text field is anything but the filtered field upon commit.
Has any value – when the value in the text field has anything in it upon commit.
Does not have a value – when the value in the text field is left blank upon commit

• Date, Currency, and Number Fields all have the same four options as the text fields, plus the following:

Greater than – when the value in the field is greater than or after the filtered number or date.

Less than – when the value in the field is less than or before the filtered number or date.

Greater than or equal to – when the value in the field is greater than, after or equal to the filtered number or date.

Less than or equal to – when the value in the field is less than, before or equal to the filtered number or date upon commit.

Between and Including – when the value in the field is between and including a range of dates or numbers entered in the filter.

• Checkbox Fields only have an equals option for either unchecked or checked.

6. Enter a value for each filter that requires one from step 5.

• Using multiple fields in the same trigger implies the filter for each field must be true to start the process.

The supervisor is notified when the document arrives in the process, and the user that uploaded the document is notified when the document is either approved or declined. You’ll notice that all elements are teal, and we have no red notifications which indicate there is something missing to complete the workflow.
