Using Counters in Events and Actions
Many of the Events and Actions supported by FC InFusion also support counters that can
control functions.
Within Events, counters determine how many times the Event must occur before the
associated Actions are triggered. Event counters typically have two properties:
Count Randomly: Can be set to “Yes” or “No” (default value is “No”).
If set to “Yes”, the Event repeats a random number of times (between 1 and the
value set in the property Max Random Count, which replaces the property
Counter Value when “Yes” is selected), before the Action is triggered.
Counter Value: Number of repeats required when Count Randomly is set to
“No”. The default value is 1.
Within Actions, counters determine how many times the Event happens before it
executes the Action. Note that an Event can be defined for a number of occurrences, so in
total, the Event will have to occur for Event counter multiplied by the Action counter
times before the Action gets executed. For example, if the Event is defined with a counter
of 5, and Action with a counter of 10 such Events, the Event looked at will have to occur
50 times before the Action is taken.
Action counters typically have two properties:
Random: Can be set to “Yes” or “No” (default value is “No”).
If set to “Yes”, the Action triggers a number of occurrences before the Action
takes place. That number ranges randomly between 1 and the value set in the
property At least every Nth occurrence, which replaces the property
Every Nth occurrence when “Yes” is selected.
Every Nth occurrence: Number of times the system calls the Action before it
acts.
