Rules

Introduction

Rules enable you to automate the distribution of forms effectively. Essentially, a rule consists of a combination of a 'User Group' and an 'Actions,' linked by a 'Trigger.' Each rule can currently be defined with 2 actions and a trigger. In UpRaise, you can create multiple rules to schedule the distribution of the same or different form templates to various user groups.

Columns on the Rules tab

  • Name - Name of the Rule

  • Enabled - This shows whether the rule is enabled or disabled. If disabled, automation will stop.
