Create a Declare Trigger rule by selecting Declare Trigger from the Decision category.

A Declare Trigger rule has two key parts:

Field

Description

Applies To

SmartPromptSelect a class for this rule. At runtime, a clipboard page of this class must be a top-level page. The properties to be watched may be in this class (or in the class of an embedded page).

You cannot use a Rule-Declare-* class or any ancestor of the Rule-Declare- class (including @baseclass) here. You cannot use a class derived from the Code- or Embed- class here.

Purpose

Enter a name for this trigger rule. Begin the name with a letter and use only alphanumeric, ampersand, and dash characters.

No other rules explicitly reference this Purpose value. However, because of normal class inheritance, a Declare Trigger rule named NewGoldCard at one level in the class structure may override (and so prevent execution of) a Declare Trigger rule named NewGoldCard at a higher level in the class structure.
