Defect Triggers send notifications when individual defects are entered into the Inspect system. Administrators can customize these triggers so that notifications will be sent when a specific type of defect occurs on a specific component used in one product. Defect triggers can also be set up to send notifications when any defect occurs on any component used in any product assembled in the plant.
Use the sleep interval to turn this trigger off for a set amount of time for the exact defect match.

1. From the Event Types list select Defect Triggers.
