When Adding or Modifying Records in WPS on Windows FAQ

When using When Adding or Modifying Records, the most common questions fall into 3 areas: trigger logic, field setup, and failure checks; this FAQ covers 3 common questions.

FAQ

What is the difference between “field is not empty when added” and “trigger when the field is modified”?

1. These are two trigger cases for the same field.
2. When a new record is added, the workflow runs if that field is not empty.
3. When an existing record changes and that field is modified, the workflow also runs.

Can I set multiple trigger fields at the same time?

1. One trigger supports one selected field as the trigger condition.
2. If you want different fields to start different workflows, create separate workflows.
3. Splitting workflows by scenario also makes later maintenance easier.

What should I do if the trigger fails?

1. Click Logs on the left side to review the failure reason.
2. Check whether the target table still exists and whether the field settings are correct.
3. After adjusting the settings, test again by adding or modifying a record.
