Trigger on Active filters

Choose the Trigger on Active filter if you want to set your Action to execute its command only when a condition becomes Active.

When you pull out a tray, the printer generates a Paper Tray Missing event with a state of Active. This satisfies the condition of the filter and executes your Action, perhaps by sending an e-mail notification.

When you push the tray back into place, the printer generates another Paper Tray Missing event, this time with a state of Clear, which does not satisfy the condition of the filter. Therefore, your Action is not executed and no one is notified when the event is cleared.

You can also choose to delay execution of your Action until the condition has been Active for a specified amount of time. Let's say the e-mail recipient is receiving too many notifications and you want to wait 20 minutes to see if the condition clears. By using the Delay Time option, you can create a filter that won't send the e-mail notification unless the Paper Tray Missing condition has been Active for 20 minutes.

Note: The Delay Time value is limited to 10 characters.
