  1. Call up the catalog. The catalog process overview is shown.
  1. Click on “Configuration” to expand the corresponding flyout menu.
  2. Click on “Process” to call up the process configuration of the catalog.
  1. Scroll to the “Automation settings” card .
  2. In the “Transformation” column, click on the “Process start” menu to expand it.
  3. Click on the “Scheduled” option to select it. The New configuration button is shown.
  4. Click on the New configuration button to call up the corresponding dialog box.
  1. Enter a name for the process event trigger in the “Name” field .
  2. If not already ticked, tick the “Activate rule” checkbox to activate the scheduler.
  1. From the “Scheduler” menu , select the option “Process Event Scheduler”.
  2. Configure the triggering event:
    1. From the left-hand menu , select the catalog.
    2. From the right-hand menu , select the catalog process step that is triggering the scheduler. In this case, this the process step “Import”.
    3. Click on the button . The scheduler is shown in the table.
  1. From the “Action” menu , select the option “Trigger process”.
