Screen content trigger events

Screen content trigger events are triggers based on the elements in the web page. Triggers based on these events will fire when they are evaluated as true.

The following Screen Content trigger event criteria can be used to determine when a trigger will be fired.

Criteria

Description

Passback Value Only

Where the value of the selected control is not used during the evaluation of the trigger, but is stored for logging purposes. That is, select this criteria when the trigger variable is not used as a trigger condition.

Passback Value Truncation: When multiple passback values for one trigger are truncated, the maximum character limit for the truncated passback value per trigger is 2048.

  • For up to 8 (eight) truncated passback values, the maximum character limit for each passback value is 256, plus the [Control Name].

  • For 9 (nine) or more truncated passback values, the maximum character limit for each passback value is reduced, and the limit includes the [Control Name]. For example, the maximum character limit for 9 truncated passback values is 227 each (2048/9=227). For 15 truncated passback values, each has a maximum character limit of 136.
