Select the required parameter from the right-hand pane.
The lower pane contains the available items that can be assigned. the upper pane contains the items that have already been assigned.
Enable the checkboxes of the items in the lower pane that you want to assign.
Drag and drop the items from the lower pane to the upper pane.
The selected items are assigned to the Trigger Event.
If required, enable Group. If Group is enabled, the trigger will apply to the combined results of all assigned items. If it is not enabled then the results of individual items will be assessed separately.
For example, let’s say a trigger has two stations assigned to it: Inspection1 and Inspection2. The trigger is fired if 10 defects are entered on a specific part within an hour. If Group is enabled then the trigger will be fired if the defect is recorded 10 times on both stations combined. However, if Group is disabled then the trigger will only be fired if the specified defect is recorded 10 times on either Inspection1 or Inspection2.
Repeat this with all the other parameters.
