Unit Triggers
Trigger Type | Trigger Description |
---|---|
Execute Trigger | Upon completion, this trigger will be automatically set and the next Unit, which has its Execute Trigger wired to this Complete Trigger, will be executed next. |
Complete Trigger | This trigger gets set by the execution flow and the Unit will be called to execute. |
Units may have several Complete Triggers, which can be used to branch to individual flows. These triggers, when wired together, precisely define the execution flow of the Workflow. As a consequence to the strictly controlled execution flow, it is not possible that an Execute Trigger of a Unit gets wired to more than one trigger or port.
Events
Events are used to trigger execution of an entire Workflow, or just a subset of a Workflow, or a Subworkflow. This is a very powerful concept, allowing Workflows to be triggered from any Workflow condition, but also – for example – from network events. The simplest example is the Start Workflow event. If the old-style method of regular execution based on a time interval is required, the Trigger Tick Unit can be used.
