Configuring Action Triggers

Configuring Action Triggers

With the Action Triggers feature, a set of trigger conditions can be defined along with corresponding
actions that will be executed when the trigger conditions are satisfied. For example, if an exterior
door is forced open between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., an action trigger can be executed that will
cause sirens to blare, lights to flash, and an automated email to be sent to all site supervisors.

The System Administration > Action Triggers page contains two tabs, Triggers and Actions, as
described next.

Understanding Triggers

Use the Triggers tab on the Action Triggers page to define trigger conditions that will execute
actions. A trigger consists of one or more condition groups, and a condition group consists of one or
more condition statements.

Each condition statement includes four drop-down list boxes where users can:

Specify an entity type, such as Door or Schedule.

Specify an qualifier related to the selected entity type. If Door is selected as the entity type,
options in this list box will include Any, All, and a list of doors defined in the System.

Specify whether the condition should be true or false.

Select a condition that would trigger an action. If Door is selected as the entity type, options
include Secure, Unlocked, Locked Out, Held Open, Forced Open, Tampered, Open, and
Mag Sensor Trouble.

The following table lists available trigger conditions for each entity type:
