3. The Trigger Criteria tab is used to set up specific criteria that may need to be met for the trigger to activate. Use the Values and Previous Values tabs and the formula buttons to create the trigger criteria. To enter the values necessary for the formulas, select the VAL button and enter the data.
   
   For the example below, continuing to the Trigger tab for the Appointment-AppointmentCancelled trigger event, we are looking at the Trigger Criteria. Note that all of the criteria are joined with an AND which indicates that all three criteria must be met to activate the trigger. If a criteria is joined with an OR, this indicates that either the previous criteria line or the following criteria line must be met.
   • The Previous Scheduled State (prev_state_scheduled) in the CDC table must be 1.
   • The Appointment Status must be CANCELLED.
   • The Appointment Type must be 1.
