Re: First Stab at Pipelines: Observations

I asked Support and here is my interpretation with embellishment.

The "Set" or "Is Not Set" function is a trigger filter. For example when a field in a record changes from "Set" to "Is not Set"  or the converse the Pipeline is triggered and runs. 

When a User enters data and saves - the trigger is called and this allows the "Builder" (you) to filter which changes start the Pipeline. This is good because otherwise anytime a change is made all the Pipelines run and that is bad.

Pipelines are all about knowing when data changes and doing a thing. In an effort to limit how often the Pipeline runs, you have to apply filters. In this case "Set" = "Present" =  "NOT NULL" and "Is not Set" = "Is not Present" = "NULL" does the thing when the User makes the change and saves the record.
