Creating Application Events

Application events can be created or named on these forms:

  • Events
  • Event Triggers
  • Event Handlers

To create your own custom events to use as part of the application event system:

  1. Open the Events form.
  2. Verify that Filter-in-Place is off.
  3. Select Actions > New.
  4. Specify this information:
    Event Name
    Specify the name that identifies the application event in the system.
    Description
    Optionally, specify a functional description that identifies the application event's intended use.
  5. Save your changes.
Note: You can specify the application event in the Event Name field of the Event Triggers form and Event Handlers form. However, application events that are named on those forms are not displayed on the Events form. If you want the application event to display on the Events form, you must name the application event by using that form.
