Trigger Types

The Trigger Types page lets an administrator view and manage trigger categories used in gamification. Trigger types define what kind of user action or system event can activate gamification logic (for example: assignment completed, grade received, quiz completed, start game). Each trigger type has a technical identifier and a readable caption.
