Create a new Collection

Write a trigger command which creates a Collection. The parameters do not have to be static values. You can use a trigger variable. Trigger variables use angled brackets <>. The name of the variable must match the same name in the Trigger Variable table. Each command is entered in a linear fashion with no spaces.

Example: Sample New Collection Command

If you were creating a Collection for Mrs. Jones who has just filed a claim on her homeowner's policy, the best practice is to create a Collection which includes Trigger Variables to capture the data which is reused and subject to change. In this case the status is a variable named status and the value is a variable named value. This Collection also has custom attributes added to give more information about the Collection. Repeat Customer identifies if the claim is a repeat claim. Policy Exp. lists the policy expiration date.
