Create an active insight trigger so that you can run the related insight
rule.

## Before you begin

This task must be performed in the classic environment.

Create an insight rule. For more information, see [Create an insight rule](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/fyESjZtmeuTpEiMOBlEaUw "Create an insight rule to generate custom insights for an automation business process.").

Role required: sn_ac.automation_technical_user or sn_ac.automation_admin

## About this task

When an insight rule is processed, it generates an insight. Insights appear on the
Insights widget in the Executions dashboard of Automation Center
Workspace.

An insight trigger activates the associated insight rule to run.

An insight rule doesn't run unless it's mapped to an insight trigger.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAutomation CenterAdministrationInsight Rules.
2. Open the insight rule for which you want to create and associate an insight trigger to.
3. On the Automation Insight Triggers tab, select New.
4. **Optional:** If the New button is unavailable, ensure that the Application scope you are in is same as the one where the record is.  
   A message is displayed if the New button is unavailable. Follow the message to change the Application scope.
5. Select the appropriate type of insight trigger that you want to create:  
   * [Map to an existing
     business rule](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/o2acDjeyVZpU4clPjPNzzw "Map an insight rule to an existing business rule to define the type of insight trigger. This insight trigger activates the associated insight rule to run.")
   * [Map to a new
     scheduled script](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/OnKKEJMGnLn~RVd~tUK~OQ "Map an insight rule to a new scheduled script to define the type of insight trigger. This insight trigger activates the associated insight rule to run.")
