Event Triggers

Use this form to view and create triggers for application events.

Note:  You cannot use this form to create triggers for form events.

A trigger is a condition that causes an event to "fire". Triggers can be based on conditions that are created in either of these cases:

  • By user actions, such as saving and closing a form, changing a record, and so forth
  • Apart from user actions, such as the passage of time or the result of a database calculation

Use this form to set conditions of the second type.

When the condition evaluates as positive and the event fires, the system copies the parameters in the Parameters tab as input to the event, so that, during event handler execution, these values are available as E(Name) expressions.
