  3. Select the table trigger in the Navigation Grid that you want to define and work with the following options:

    Note: Click New New icon in property editors to create a new object on the toolbar to create a new table trigger. Use the Enter filter text box to filter a very large list of table triggers to quickly locate the one that you want to define.
