[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Action triggers

[Tim Spindler]

Alexay,

It isn't a part of the documentation largely because no one has taken it on
to put int Ascii Doc.  If you could convert it to ASCII Doc and submit it
to DIG that would be helpful  (dig list is
open-ils-documentation at list.georgialibraries.org)
