Add a Trigger

Triggers can be added from either the Main View or the Side View. The operation steps are the same across the Date, Holiday, Day of Week, and Default views. In this section, the Date view is used as an example.

Selecting a Column

Before adding a Trigger, select the target column for the date (or day of the week).
A column becomes selected when you click anywhere inside it.
For details on selecting a column, refer to “Selecting a Column” in Add a Schedule.

Adding a Trigger

After selecting a column, choose [File] » [Add Trigger...] from the menu.
Alternatively, you can right‑click the column and select [Add Trigger...] from the context menu.

A new Trigger is added, and a dialog box appears where you can configure the time and other settings.
The time corresponding to the position you clicked in the column is automatically set.

Trigger Dialog Box

The Trigger dialog box allows you to configure the following items:

1. Time Required
   Specify the time when this Trigger will run. Click the hour or minute fields to enter values directly, or use the icons on the right to adjust the values.

2. Name Optional
   You can assign a name to this Trigger.
   The name appears in both the Main View and the Side View.

3. Trigger List Required
   Specify the actions that will run at the selected time.
   By default, the list is empty, which means nothing will be executed.
   To add an item, click the icon.
   For details, see “Add to Trigger List” below.

Add to Trigger List

When you click the icon in the Trigger dialog box, the New Trigger Item dialog box appears.

In the New Trigger Item dialog box, you can configure the following items:

1. Trigger Type Required
   Select one of the predefined types, or choose Custom Trigger to configure your own.
   The following options are available:

   • Shutdown
     Shuts down the PC.

   • Restart
     Restarts the PC.

   • Hibernate (Windows) / Sleep (macOS)
     Puts the PC into hibernation or sleep mode.
     The behavior differs between Windows and macOS.

   • Custom Trigger
     Select this option when specifying your own executable file.

2. Name Optional

3. Executable File Required

4. Arguments Optional

5. Working Folder Optional

6. Description Optional

Example: Adding a Shutdown Trigger

Because Shutdown is a built‑in option, you can select it directly from the Trigger Type list.

When you select Shutdown from the Trigger Type list, the fields are automatically populated as shown in Figure 4.
For Shutdown, the executable is set to shutdown.exe on Windows and shutdown on macOS.
The required arguments differ depending on the operating system.

You can modify Executable File, Arguments, and Working Folder by clicking the button.
If you want to restore the default values after making changes, click the button.

After configuring the settings, click the button to close the dialog.

Once added to the Trigger List, the item appears as follows:

With the settings shown in Figure 5, the PC will shut down at 6:01.

You can add multiple Trigger Items to the list.
All items in the list are executed in order from top to bottom when the specified time is reached.
