The criteria that must be met for the trigger to fire.

Each trigger is defined in terms of its properties, windows behavior and selected criteria. The more selected criteria used within the trigger, the more specific the trigger will be.

This ensures that the trigger only evaluates to true under the correct circumstances, thus preventing the trigger from firing unexpectedly.

Event criteria includes button clicks, hot keys, and changed criteria options. The first time one of these criteria is detected, the trigger fires.

• Up to 50 conditions can be combined per trigger.

  Elements highlighted by red rectangles can be added to the selected criteria, and their values can be used as part of the trigger definition.

  Elements highlighted by green rectangles are “hotspot” areas of the screen that were only highlighted for the purposes of button clicks. These screen controls can only be assigned to “IsClicked” or “Exists At”.

  Enter the Control Criteria or edit the existing control criteria if the control was already selected.

• From the list provided, select a Trigger Variable and click Add Trigger Variable.

  A hot key criteria cannot be combined with any other event based trigger criteria. For example, you should not configure a trigger to be fired when Unbutton is clicked and the user presses ALT+T. Similarly, you should not configure a trigger to be fired when My input text has changed and the user presses ALT+T.

This property is relevant for all trigger types.
