Create a New Trigger Command

1. In DPA, go to Administration and select Commands.

2. Click Add New Command.

3. From the Category list, select the application to which this command will be associated with.

4. In the Description field, explain the command.

5. In the Command field, enter a command line option.

6. In the Parameter fields, enter command line arguments.

   Enter any general command line arguments required for all executions of the command.

7. In the Help Text field, enter a description to assist during trigger definition. The description appears in Trigger Properties when the user selects the command to execute.

   Enter a description of the trigger command, syntax, additional optional or mandatory parameters for correct trigger firing, and an example. 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.

   This example is the help text for the predefined Display Basic Message Prompt trigger command:

   Syntax:“<trigger passback parameters>”

   Optional: /k6 /h”Header message”

   Example: %FORMAT”Note: Recording is <MyTriggerPassbackRecordingState>” /k6 /h”Recording Status”.

   The example displays the formatted trigger passback parameters in the body of a dialog box, with a heading “Recording Status”.

8. From the Status list select one of the following options:

   • Enabled: Setting the status to Enabled indicates that the command is active and can be used as part of a trigger.

   • Deleted: Setting the status to Deleted is primarily used for test purposes or to hide unwanted commands, without permanently deleting them. When set as Deleted, the command still exists, but you can create other commands with the same name and different parameters while testing the triggers.

9. Click Insert to create the trigger command.
