Controlling the sequence of application event handlers and actions

These settings control the order in which event handlers and their actions execute:

Handler sequence number

Each application event handler has a handler sequence number. Handlers execute in the order of their sequence numbers. To modify the flow and change handler sequence order, use the Keep With and Chronology options on the Event Handlers form or the Event Handler Sequence form.

Action sequence number

The application event actions associated with each event handler have their own action sequence numbers. These numbers execute in numeric order, unless one of these situations is true:

  • You use the Initial Action option on the Event Handlers form to designate that an action should execute first.
  • You use application event action types to modify the flow.
