Create and manage Collections

Collections are created and manipulated all through the use of trigger commands. It is important to make sure that the trigger condition used to create the Collection command fires under the right conditions. It is also important that the commands fire in the correct order.

Before you begin 

Verify that you have created or are creating a trigger as described in Create a New Trigger Command.

Procedure 

  1. Open the Edit trigger screen from a new or existing trigger.

  2. In the Commands to Execute list, select a Collections trigger command to execute.

  3. Use the Help text provided or the parameters tables to create the command. Fill in the field with the required parameters. You can also set custom attributes using the [COLANAME] [COLAVALUE] pair. The parameters you set do not have to be static values. You can also 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.

  4. Click Add Command.

  5. If you have already created the trigger and are finished, click Save. If not, continue to finish the trigger.
