Triggers

A Trigger is a value chosen in one attribute that causes values to be entered in other attributes.
The value chosen in one of the attributes automates entries in other items.

For Example

You might set a Trigger so that when Bath Panel is chosen as the Element the options chosen in the Material type, Frequency of use and other attributes are automated.

Master Attribute & Option

*This is the choice made from an attribute that triggers an entry into another attribute (Slave)

Slave Attribute & Option

*This is the Attribute triggered by the Master, and the option that is automated for that Attribute
