Configuring Global I/O Automated Rules

Automated rules can execute commands, generate event reports, edit multiple records, or perform URL actions. After it has been created, you can invoke the automated rules from other modules, such as Quick Launch buttons or the Maps Editor. 

A Global I/O rule is comprised of a trigger and an action.

The trigger can be one of 3 types:

·         Periodic

o       Monthly—the day of the month and time the action occurs

o       Weekly—the day of the week and time the action occurs

o       Daily—the time of the day the action occurs

·         Manual

o       The action only occurs when manually invoked by a user.

·          Event

o       The action occurs only when specified criteria are met.

The action occurs when the trigger conditions are met. The options are to generate a report or issue a device command.

You can create automated tasks using the Global I/O module, as described in the following sections.
