I was looking through the archive online, and found a thread from 1-12-2009,
but our emailed archive doesn't go back far enough... It's basically how to
create dummy receipts... Does anybody have this old thread with the screen
shots they could send me or if the process has changed, could we go over it
again?
Thank you!

Gents,
I'm taking this back on list because there may be others in the community that
would benefit from this discussion.
To Recap, there are two questions: how to use custom triggers and how to
create dummy receipts.
Re: "Dummy receipts"
The so-called "dummy receipt" is a receipt from a payload-free package. I
create empty prebuilt Apple .pkg files using Composer like so...
1. Create an empty folder with the same name as your intended package (and
receipt) in /Applications/The Casper Suite/Temp/ (see attachment "Picture
1.png")
2. Open Composer, choose this prebuilt package and save it as an Apple .pkg.
(see attachment "Picture 2.png")
Some may find that using these "dummy receipts" creates clutter, but if you
integrate the concept into your workflows, document your work, and maintain
clear and consistent policies (in the general sense, not Casper Policies) and
naming conventions, use of receipts in this way can be a very efficient and
effective method to extend your management capabilities.
