Add an Action

The two action options are:

Run a Report

The options for running a report are covered in the publishing section of the user guide.

Set a Condition

The set a condition field takes a comma-delimited string of conditions. To mark a condition as negative, prefix it with an exclamation mark. For example:

workorderend,!workordernotfinished

This would create a condition called workorderend that will be set to true. If a condition called workordernotfinished exists, it will be removed — in essence making it false.
