Event Builder

You open the Event Builder by clicking the ellipsis in any Date/event field in a data grid, or by clicking the Date/event button in a spreadsheet view.

You use the Event Builder to:

  • identify events that must be met before the rule takes effect
  • set properties for each event

You can add multiple events for a single row in the data grid or spreadsheet. All the events must be completed before the rule takes effect.
