Run a Motion Template event when data matches

Attach an existing template event to a field or column condition.

Before you start

Open the intended collection and rehearse before changing a live production. Controls depend on your installed version and selection.

Where to find it

Motion Template source Properties > Custom Event > Add.

Use it

  1. Prepare a data source or expose a field, and select a template with the intended event.
  2. Choose the template event, source of data and field or column.
  3. Select Text, Whole number or Decimal number.
  4. Choose the comparison and enter or select the value.
  5. Save the rule and rehearse a nonmatching value followed by a match.

Helpful information

A rule fires when the condition first matches. Numeric types support ordered comparisons; choose the type that matches your data. Invalid values are skipped until valid while the template keeps playing. Use Edit or Delete to change a rule. Show delay is a separate source option: it holds the source hidden before its entrance without disabling Properties preview. If an exit timer is set, its timing is measured from the start of the entrance, after the delay.
