# Run Always vs. Triggered Items

> <IUCard title="Run Always vs. Triggered Items" link="https://inductiveuniversity.com/video/run-always-vs-triggered-items/7.9" />

In the Transaction Group workspace, you can set the Expression items in a group to execute in two different ways:

+ **Run-Always** in which the Expression items will execute at the groups rate (based on the **Execution Scheduling** settings on the **Action** tab).
+ **Triggered** in which the Expression items run when the group is triggered (based on the settings on the **Trigger** tab). 

If on the **Trigger** tab, the option **Execute this group on a trigger** is not selected, the items in the **Run-Always Expression Item** area and **Triggered Expression Items** area will all execute at the same time. The advantage selecting the **Execute this group on a trigger** option is that is gives you flexibility on when the expression items are executed which may result in easing the load on a database.
