Rule Triggers
Rule Triggers enable you to define a Trigger based on Property values. This enables you to create more robust rules beyond just dates, events based on dates, or manual events. For example, the Record may have a property (e.g. met-data field) called "Status". You can trigger an event based on the value of the "Status" field matching a specific value.
Rule Triggers are similar to an Event Trigger, but Rule Triggers are targeted towards individual items and do not target Case Record Classes. A common example would be to have a Rule Trigger based on the "Status" property being changed to "Complete". See the illustration below.
Rule Trigger Properties
The only property for a rule trigger is the Title, which must unique to other Trigger Titles.
Building rules for Triggers is the same as building rules for other elements. Besides adding individual rules on each line, you can also add Rules Sets.

|---|---|
Property | Represents the property of the Repository Item to compare against. *The property can be any public property that exists for an item or a special token that is defined (see Classification Rule Tokens appendix for details). |
Operator | Represents the operator to use when comparing against the item. Possible values are:
|
Value | Represents the value of the expression that will be used when comparing against the item |
Data Type | Represents the data type of the Repository Item to compare against. Using a more specific data type will result in a more accurate expression result. Possible values are:
