Configure Conditions and Triggers

Set up automatic actions that activate based on how operators answer questions in inspections or procedures.

Before You Start​

  • You need Manager or Supervisor permissions
  • You must be creating or editing a template

How Conditions and Triggers Work​

Condition: The criteria that must be met (e.g., "If answer is No") Trigger: The action that activates when the condition is met (e.g., "Notify supervisor")

Example: If an operator answers "No" to "Is the safety guard in place?", the system automatically notifies the supervisor.

Steps​

Step 1: Select a question​

  1. Open the template in edit mode
  2. Click on the question you want to configure
  3. Find the conditions/triggers section

Step 2: Add a condition​

Conditions vary based on the question's response type:

Response TypeAvailable Conditions
Numeric fieldLess than, greater than, equal to, is, is not
Text fieldIs, is not, contains
Single selectionIs, is not
Multiple selectionIncludes, does not include
Yes / No / N/AIs Yes, is No, is N/A
  1. Select the condition type
  2. Set the value to compare against

Step 3: Select a trigger​

Once the condition is defined, choose what happens:

TriggerDescriptionExample
Require an actionCreates a follow-up task"Clean the spill"
Create a ticketGenerates a ticket for trackingRisk detection triggers ticket
Notify someoneSends alert to user/teamNotify supervisor of non-compliance
Require evidencePrompts photo/video uploadDocument the issue visually
Add nested fieldShows a follow-up question"How long has it been like this?"

Step 4: Configure trigger details​

Each trigger has specific settings:

Require an action:

  • Enter the action description
  • Set priority if needed

Create a ticket:

  • Define ticket details or let operator fill them

Notify someone:

  • Select user or team to notify
  • Choose timing: immediately or at inspection end

Require evidence:

  • Evidence upload prompt appears for operator

Add nested field:

  • Add a follow-up question
  • Select its response type
  • Nested fields can have their own conditions/triggers (except adding another nested field)

Step 5: Add multiple conditions (optional)​

A single question can have multiple conditions with different triggers:

Example for "Temperature reading" (numeric):

  • If > 100: Notify maintenance team
  • If > 120: Create urgent ticket AND require evidence

Step 6: Save the template​

  1. Review all conditions and triggers
  2. Click Save

Triggers activate during inspection execution based on operator responses.

Example Configurations​

Safety Check​

QuestionConditionTrigger
"Is emergency stop accessible?"Is NoNotify safety supervisor immediately
"Are guards in place?"Is NoRequire evidence + Create ticket
"Is equipment clean?"Is NoAdd nested field: "What cleaning is needed?"

Temperature Monitoring​

QuestionConditionTrigger
"Refrigerator temperature (°C)"> 5Notify quality team
"Refrigerator temperature (°C)"> 8Create urgent ticket + Require evidence

Tips​

  • Focus conditions on non-compliant or abnormal answers
  • Use "Notify immediately" for safety-critical issues
  • Require evidence for conditions that need documentation
  • Test your triggers by executing a test inspection
  • Use nested fields to gather more context without cluttering the main template
  • Don't over-trigger — too many notifications can cause alert fatigue
