This example will configure a Trigger to set an asset's Status to Live when it is created. This can be especially useful for File asset types that you do not require editing after being initially uploaded.

Please note that if you have Edit+ for Squiz Matrix installed on your system, the trigger settings required will differ due to the way Edit+ handles the creation of files. Please refer to the appropriate sections below, based on your configuration requirements.

You won't be able to use triggers that automatically set the status on assets that have workflow applied. You will need to either select to not include these trigger types, or to not have workflow applied to these areas of your system.
