Events¶
An event is something that has to be accomplished to trigger the actions. All the events can be combined to create a custom event, using the boolean operations provided by the software (AND,OR, NOT).
When entering a new Event or Action it is possible to choose from one of the previously created on the system or to create a new one.
Automations Panel – Events
When there is only one event, clicking on the boolean command (1) will create another event linked to the other one according to that operation. Right-clicking on an event and selecting Wrap in allows the creation of an operation as if it was inside brackets, i.e it will be evaluated first. Let’s consider the following event group as an example.
Events
The first operation that is evaluated is the NOT, then the OR between Event2 and the result of the NOT, and finally the AND between Event1 and the result of the OR.
The following table depicts the meaning of each one of the boolean operators.
