 How To Trigger a Run When a File Arrives

**Learn about CsvPath Framework:** Find lots more information and how-tos about CsvPath Framework automating data preboarding at [https://www.csvpath.org](https://www.csvpath.org/).

FlightPath enables you to easily set up an arrival activation on a named-file. An arrival activation is a trigger that runs its named-file against a named-paths group whenever new data arrives.

How to do it

Navigate to your project's examples/schemas folder
Right-click the directory in the project files tree on the left
Select Stage data
The Stage Data Dialog opens
Uncheck Separate named-files and add the name schemas to the Named-file name field

* After hitting the `Stage` button you will see the `schema` named-file in the top right-hand window * Right-click the `schema` named-file in the top right window. Select `Arrival activation`.

In the dialog there are two required settings:
- A named-paths group holding the csvpath statements you want to run when data arrives
- The run method that determines how your run is processed

> CsvPath Framework offers six run methods. FlightPath Data and FlightPath Server support four of them; the other two are for programmatic use only. The four are: > * collect_paths > * fast_forward_paths > * collect_by_line > * fast_forward_by_line > > The fast forward run methods do not collect matching lines. The collect run methods do. The paths run methods apply every csvpath serially. The by_line run methods pass every line to all csvpaths in the group before starting the next line.
