Automatic triggers

How to make the program react to time by itself: message, flash, sound, next lecture.

What it is for: A trigger is a “WHEN → THEN” rule, e.g. “when 90% of the time has passed → show the speaker the message “5 minutes left””. The operator does not have to watch every moment.
Who can use it: Operator in the program — saving triggers is a PRO feature (in FREE you can only look at the screen).
Where to find it: Triggers tab.
