      2. Enter a descriptive name for the trigger.

      3. Select the Event Type.
        See Trigger Event Types.

      4. Set the appropriate sub option for the event type.

      5. If desired, disable the trigger until needed.

      Collection Completed

      Triggers the workflow when the specified collection completes successfully. If the collection completes with an error or warning, the workflow will not be triggered.

      The workflow will run regardless of how the collection itself is started (e.g. schedule, manual, as part of a workflow).
