# Open editor and set trigger

## Open rule editor

To open the editor, click on **Manage** on the right. This will take you out of the list view and you can then edit the selected rule.

> [!NOTE]
> 💡 **No result without Rule Editor**
> 
> It is not enough to create a rule by clicking on **+Add new rule**, you have to configure it completely. Otherwise the rule remains empty and has no influence on the selector.

---

## Set rule trigger

Before you configure a rule, select the trigger. This defines whether the platform always executes a rule (**always**) or whether one or more conditions must be fulfilled (**depending on a condition**).

> [!NOTE]
> 💡**Conditions are circumstances** under which rules are executed. For example, you can use them to precisely control that a **calculation** only takes place when the selector user **selects a certain answer** in the questionnaire. Conversely, if the user does not select the answer, the platform will not carry out a calculation.

> 
> **Actions are operations** that the platform performs. This includes calculations and the generation of dynamic text fields.

1. Click on the drop-down menu next to **The following rule is triggered**.
2. Choose either **always** or **depending on the rule condition**.

**Execute rule only according to conditions (depending on a condition)**

If you select this option, next navigate to the chapter **Configure conditions** (see related article). Since the rule is only executed after one or more conditions have been fulfilled, you need conditions.

**Always execute rule (always)**

If you select this option, next navigate to the chapter **Configure actions** (see related article). As the rule is always executed, you do not need any conditions.
