About the Application Event System

The Application Event System (AES) is a powerful and flexible set of tools that is designed to help extend and customize how the framework operates. You can use these tools to define and monitor application events across the system, rather than being limited to a single form.

The AES is extremely powerful and flexible. However, for some non-developer users, the AES can be overwhelming at first. To help you with the learning curve, we provide a Workflow Wizard, which is designed to step you through the process of creating simple workflows using the AES.

Some Mongoose-based applications also include a Workflow Event Handler Activation form to help non-developers create simple AES workflows. This form provides access to a set of predefined workflow event handlers. These handlers are ready-to-use. In most cases, you must define the user names or email addresses of the people who must be notified when a certain event happens, and then activate the handler.
