Abstract

A method and system for the selective identification and execution of a specific processing task for one or more records contained in the one or more Financial Service Organization (FSO) data sets. An FSO computer user may configure a smart trigger table by defining a scheduled date, an identifier for a data set and an associated processing task. The FSO user may schedule a task to be executed at a periodic interval to process entries in the smart trigger table. If conditions have been met to process the smart trigger table then each row in the smart trigger table, which have been specifically identified to need processing, may be processed by only executing the associated processing task specified in the smart trigger table record. After processing the smart trigger table record the scheduled date entry may be reset to indicate its completion.
