The Actions menu enables you to simultaneously manipulate several triggers at once. Select the check box for the triggers you want or select the check box at the top of the column, select Actions, and then select the action you want. The available actions are Export, Start, and Stop.

Exporting and Importing Triggers

You can import and export triggers from one organization to another (or even between platforms, for example, from production to development). To export a trigger or a group of triggers, select the check box for the trigger you want to export (to select all triggers, select the check box at the top of the column), and then click Export.

Although you can import triggers, the trigger may not function correctly. Triggers make use of tags, things, and thing definition characteristics (for example, attributes, properties, and methods) that may not be available on the import destination. After you import the triggers, you should review and update the trigger or other elements of the target platform to ensure the proper functionality of the triggers.
