Set up a lone worker trigger

Set up triggers to automate actions in MRI OnLocation. Triggers can send notifications, display messages, deny entry to a site, and sign people in/out. Each trigger is attached to a specific event, like a contractor signing in. Rules can narrow the event further; for example, apply it only to people working alone.

6. Make the trigger status Active.
