# Trigger improvements

The configuration of triggers has been expanded to include a new operator and a new system variable.

**Components**: Web-based Workflow Designer

**Additional operator IS in document triggers**

You can now use the **IS**operator in the WHERE clause to resolve issues with triggers in migrated workflows. After migration, you can modify the conditions for triggers directly in their settings.

**New system variable Triggered_User**

The **Assign_to**system variable used in the Desktop App of the Workflow Designer is not supported in all cases in the new, web-based Designer. If you are using system activities such as assignments, expressions or conditions before the first task, use the new **Triggered_User** system variable instead. This variable is not automatically entered in workflow activities. Therefore, after migrating from the Desktop App Designer, all workflows that relied on the unsupported variables must be updated in the appropriate locations.
