When Do Triggers Activate?

The CPSA process is summarized below and in the following flow chart.

1. (Optional) CPSA checks whether the user is using a trusted application.

   First, the CPSA checks which application the user is using. If this is:

   • If this is an ‘ignored application’ as defined in the registry, the CPSA allows the print job and no policy triggers are applied.
   • If the application is not listed in the registry, the CPSA does apply Data In Motion triggers to the file or document
2. CPSA applies Data In Motion triggers.

   Data In Motion triggers activate when the CPSA detects print jobs that match the specified criteria. For example, you can set up triggers to monitor (or exempt) specific printers on your network. You identify printers by their name, for example, 'HP Color LaserJet 4650 PCL 6  1st Floor'.

   When a file is sent to a printer, triggers can detect specific file names and file formats (such as Microsoft Word documents). They can analyze the text content to detect the key phrases or to check whether the file matches a particular document classification. They can also use XML Attribute data lookup commands to file attributes such as size, date created, date last modified, and the file author.

   Finally, you can configure triggers to block or allow the print job or to display a warning.
