Managing Triggers
Accessing Triggers
In the Scheduling Management window, the Scheduling page displays the Triggers:
• Custom Triggers
Triggers defined by the HOPEX administrator. These Triggers can be defined on a data repository or on the System repository.

• processing time (duration)
• status
• its repeat number
• its status (enabled or disabled)
• if the trace of the trigger is kept after its deletion or not
• its retention period (in days)
• its deletion date
By default, some of the columns are hidden, you can display them.
