Admins and agents with permission to manage business rules can search for triggers and filter them based on a number of factors. You can define a simple filter based on a single criteria such as name, description, condition, or action, or you can create advanced filters based on multiple filters.

这是一个重新ally useful feature! While we do have a useful "(any)" option, however, an "(absent)" option would also come in very handy.
Use case: I'm currently doing a routine trigger clean-up regarding schedules, and it would be useful to have a search condition that would show me all triggers where thereisn'ta schedule being applied(this might sound pointless, but when you have hundreds of triggers to review, it becomes a bit more challenging).
This would also be valid for other similar search conditions (status, brand, ticket form, etc.).
Also desperately in need of of@...'s suggested tweak:"retain the specified search terms when returning from an edit"
How come I don't have this feature in my Admin Settings? I only have an Overview, Apps, Manage, and Channels features in my Settings. How can I pull these features out?
Hi@...
Are you sure you have the Admin role?
Your list looks like an agent's selection.
Thanks. Yes, it seems I still have Agent role only. Now I have Admin access and can see this. :)
Hello!
Each trigger has the ability to show how many tickets were affected by the conditions and actions. Is there a way I can view/search which tickets had that trigger action apply? For example in the attachment, can I view the 5933 tickets in a list somewhere?
At the moment there isn't a report/view available that will specifically show which tickets a trigger has fired upon.
The workaround would be to add a condition in your trigger that will add a unique tag to the ticket.
This way you can use the tag as part of the View condition or report in Explore that will display the tickets that has the tag.
Hope this helps!
We have added more items into our Guide area and will be asking our clients to actually sign in. This will require them to have a PW if they are currently signed in and if someone is new setting up their account.
Is there a way I can set up a trigger when someone adds themselves to our database for access?
Example: Dan Smith has never signed in to the Guide area and sets up his profile, I would like to get notification of him registering.
Thanks in advance.

There are no triggers in Guide, only in Support.
There is no way to do what you want.
The clever alternative would be a message to your dear users elaborating your change in procedures, and pointing out that they can set their password using the sign-in screen‘s forgot password link. Include screenshots, by all means.
