iLogic: What is iTrigger?

[Anonymous]

I found the iTrigger button under the ilogic ribbon category. When I click on it it seems to create a parameter iTrigger0. What is that used for? Wouldnt it be beneficial to create it's own discussion group category for iLogic so we don't get all mixed up?

Hi -

iTrigger is a mechanism that can be used to cause one or more (usually) one rule to be executed when the button is pressed. The way this works is the following:

- The first time you click this button, it will create a new numeric parameter named "iTrigger0".
- Subsequently, it will increment the value of this parameter.
- If you then reference this parameter in a rule (see simple example below), the act of pressing the button (and incrementing the parameter value) will cause that rule to run.

Simple rule example:

i = iTrigger0
' The rest of your rule here

Hope this helps.
