Configuring Action Triggers
•
If a system entity (for example, a reader) is defined in a condition statement and then the entity is
deleted from the System, the corresponding condition statement will also be deleted. If the entity
is recreated, a new condition statement can be created for the entity.
•
An event is logged whenever a trigger condition statement changes state between true and false.
•
Duplicate condition statements can be included in the same condition group.
•
Disabled inputs and outputs can be included in a trigger statement, but they will have no effect on
the trigger evaluation.
•
Action trigger records can be configured to occur when a trigger is deactivated.
•
Action trigger records can include trigger conditions without any resulting actions.
In addition, note that trigger conditions are assumed to be in an indeterminate state and will transition
to either true or false to execute the corresponding actions:
•
For all records when the System starts up.
•
For each record when a record is configured and saved.
•
For affected records when a referenced entity is deleted.
Considerations for Schedule-Based Action Trigger Records
When creating condition statements for action trigger records that involve schedules, remember that
Holiday Groups can be either included or excluded from a schedule, depending on how the Holiday
Group is configured for the schedule on the Access Management > Schedules page.
•
If a Holiday Group is included in a schedule (i.e. the check box is selected), then the schedule
will be active on the days defined in the Holiday Group for the hours defined in the schedule.
This is regardless of what days of the week are selected for the schedule.
•
If a Holiday Group check box is excluded from a schedule (i.e. the check box is cleared), then the
schedule will not be active at any time during the days defined in the Holiday Group. This is
regardless of what days of the week are selected for the schedule.
•
If the same day is part of one Holiday Group that is included in a schedule and is also part of
another Holiday Group that is excluded from the same schedule, the day will be included in the
schedule.
To guarantee that an action will be triggered regardless of whether or not a day is a holiday, create an
“or” statement with the trigger conditions by using the “Any Can Occur” option. For example, add
one trigger condition that will be true when a Weekdays 9AM - 6PM schedule is in effect, and a
matching trigger condition will be true when holidays are in effect.
