Idle Trigger

The Idle trigger is used to execute a task when the computer is unoccupied. When you are not doing anything on your computer, the system is referred to as being in an Idle state. By using the Idle trigger in AutoMate™, you can change that. Simply tell AutoMate™ in the Idle trigger properties how long the system should be idle before the trigger is fired.

Example

This trigger is very useful for sweeping document files up to a network server for backup purposes. When you leave your computer at lunchtime – AutoMate™ can be sure your data is backed up – handling it all for you while you relax.
