Maintaining Triggers for a Test Triggered Event

The Event Triggers tab lists the actions that occur when a sample record matches the criteria specified on the General tab. These actions can include performing another test on the same sample record and executing a process. If multiple actions are recorded and applicable, they are performed sequentially in the order specified.

Click in a field and add, change, or delete information as needed.

To create a new event trigger, click the New button. The system adds a blank trigger row. To save the new trigger, you must enter a value in the Trigger Sequence Number and Test fields.

If multiple events are recorded in the list, enter the order in which you want the system to perform them in the Trigger Sequence Number field.

In the Test field, enter the test you want to be performed. In the From Test Status field, enter the initial status for the test. In the To Test Status field, enter the new test status that will be set as a result of this triggered event. In the Execute Process Name field, you can optionally specify a process that will run as a result of this event.

When a sample record test is found that matches the criteria entered on the General tab, and the sample record is also assigned the test you enter in the Test field with the status entered in the From Test Status field, the system changes the status of the associated test to the value in the To Test Status field. In addition, the system executes the process, if any, specified in the Execute Process Name field.

Click the Save button when you are finished. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.
