System Behaviors and Edge Cases​

  • The Controller list is not populated until a System is selected.
  • Leaving Search Text blank returns all triggers that match System/Controller/View filters.
  • While fetching data, a “Stand by…” spinner appears in the results area.
  • If no records match, the results area is empty and Trigger Count shows 0.
  • Large result sets may take longer to load; do not navigate away until loading completes.
  • If your account lacks access to the selected System, the lists may appear empty even when data exists.

Permissions​

  • Accessible to users with Setup privileges for the selected System (e.g., Global Administrators or Tenant Administrators with appropriate rights).
  • Ability to open and edit individual triggers depends on trigger-level permissions and role assignments.
  • Read-only users can search and view results but cannot modify trigger definitions.

Linked Workflows​

  • From a trigger’s detail page, configure trigger conditions and outputs associated with the selected controller.
  • Triggers may be referenced by related controller features such as I/O, door control, elevator control, or alarm actions.
  • Audit and reporting workflows can reference trigger activity and status.
