Triggered Action

Triggered Action

A Triggered Action allows a specification to transition to a State once a specified file has been created.

Using a Triggered Action allows the default order of generating outputs to be manipulated to better suit your needs.

For example:

• An Email can be sent once a model has been generated alerting a Team Leader to a specification being completed.

2. Select Triggered Action from the Documents list and enter a name in the field under the list.
