At the top of the template configuration screen, the user must/can also define:

- the **relevant equipment(s)**
- the appropriate **trigger conditions**

Triggers determine **when a checklist needs to be filled in by the operator.**

For example, a checklist can be triggered:

- time based
- after x pieces produced
- start/stop entry

You can also select if you want a checklist to be triggered on a **material class** or a specific **material definition**.

This allows operators to see relevant contextual information while executing the checklist.
