  • Assign to user/Assign to group: Default assignee for the task generated by this trigger.
  • Due date in days: Number of days after generation the task must be completed.
  • Mode: SelectManual(tasks are generated only when you click theExecute triggersbutton in the Admin Panel) orDaily(tasks are generated as part of an automatic daily process). If you selectDaily, you must specify aTimefor the process to run each day. Once triggers are executed, you can view the execution status in the command log.
