Trigger Type	Description
File System Trigger	If the AMTrigger.Action dataset returns FILE ADDED, FILE MODIFIED or FILE DELETED, this dataset returns the absolute path of the file that was either added, modified or deleted (according to the file action that the user initially set for the trigger). An absolute path (also known as full path) is a path that contains the root directory and all other subdirectories that contain a file or folder (for example, C:\folder\subfolder\filename.txt).
Process Trigger	Returns the relative path of the process that activated the trigger, which is the file name excluding path information (for example, notepad.exe).
Service Trigger	Returns the Service Name of the service that activated the trigger. See AMTrigger.ServiceDisplayName for more details.
