Hello Uipathans :robot:,

Hope all are doing well, Here we discuss the Triggers of Element change trigger, element attribute change trigger and trigger scope.

What is Trigger?

Triggers enable you to execute jobs in a preplanned manner.

Trigger Scope

Define actions that are triggered by various events.
The activity interface comprises the Triggers and Actions containers. This allows for the definition of a set of triggers in the first, followed by a sequence of activities to execute based on the trigger response.
In Scheduling mode properties, can select Sequential, Concurrent, and OneTime.

  • Sequential - Actions are executed one after another.
  • Concurrent - Action executions can overlap.
  • OneTime - Execute action one time and exit.
    Note: Sequential and Concurrent properties are monitoring UI until user stops thee execution or uses break activist to break the loop
