Appendix B: Trigger List
The following “If” and “then” statements describe a situation that must take place to trigger an
event. When you select one of these trigger types in the events window, more options will open to
allow you to specify what you want to be the trigger. For example, if you select “Group” as an
“If” trigger, then a new pull down menu will open up. Pull down this menu until the group that
you want to be the trigger is selected.
