Event Properties

The right half of the Event tab is used for triggering external events, such as sending events to EventSmith or Scheduler. The Event Properties settings are a direct correlation to what EventSmith is going to do. These options can be set up in an unmanaged document, but will only be used once the document is managed.
The drop down menu at the top of the Event Properties section contains five triggering options:
 

• Never Trigger - Events are not generated, regardless of whether or not data has been triggered within the DataSet

• Trigger on 1 only - Events are only generated if data within the selected DataSet is triggered on the set Trigger 1. For example, this would occur if any of the data in the DataSet is "Out of Tolerance"

• Trigger on 2 only - Events are only generated if data within the selected DataSet is triggered on the set Trigger 2. For this example, this would occur if any of the data in the DataSet is "Out of Control"

• Trigger on both - Events are only generated if data within the selected DataSet is triggered on the set Trigger 1 AND Trigger 2. For this example, this would occur if any of the data in the DataSet is "Out of Tolerance" AND "Out of Control"

• Trigger on either - Events are only generated if data within the selected DataSet is triggered on the set Trigger 1 OR Trigger 2; one or the other would be sufficient. For this example, this would occur if any of the data is "Out of Tolerance" OR "Out of Control"

Event Notes

Any text may be entered in the Event Notes field, including a few select CM4D variables that will resolve in the Event notification e-mail.

Priority

A user-defined number which can be used to alert users of a particular event priority defined by the EventSmith Administrator. This number will in no way affect how events are processed by CM4D.

Sheet Image

Click the browse button to open the Sheets dialog. If you select a sheet from the list, an image of the selected sheet will be included in the notification e-mail sent by EventSmith. The Array sheet may be used, although if the Array sheet is used as the Sheet Image, PDF's must be selected from the Sheet Image Type to get all of the sheets in the SheetSet.

Summary tables showing an overview of triggered cells is one example of commonly used Sheets for Sheet Image.

Sheet Image Type

Determines what file type will be used when sending an image of the sheet included with the e-mail notification. Only PDF's should be used when the Array Sheet is used as the Sheet Image.

Sheet Name

The Sheet Name section contains 5 default variables to resolve a composite name for the Sheet Image. Other CM4D Variables or user-defined character strings may be used instead. 

Trigger 1 / Trigger 2

The left half of the Event tab is used to set the triggers for the data within the DataSet. These triggers are used for internal events, or events which are triggered for annotation within CM4D and CM4Di. Various annotation allow you to apply an event action, but to do this, you must have a DataSet with at least one Trigger set. If you select Draw only if Triggered as the event action for an annotation, you must set the corresponding event Trigger 1 or Trigger 2 (e.g. setting a red X to appear if the value of a sample exceeds a set amount).

See the section   below for descriptions of the trigger options.

Trigger on Active Sample (or subgroup with Active Sample)

Selecting the check box "Trigger on Active Sample (or Subgroup with Active Sample)" will cause the trigger selected from the list to be applied only on the active sample.

The Trigger on Active Sample option can be used in a CM4Di template to show only the active sample.

Trigger on Current Process Only

When dealing with multiple processes, CM4D triggers events only on the current process by default. If you want events to trigger on all process baselines, deselect this option.

Value 1 / Value 2

Fill in the Value 1 and Value 2 fields when applicable to the selected trigger type. For example, Value Not Between would require two boundary values to define the acceptable range.
