Event Title

(Display-only) This field shows the identifier for the event being viewed.

For any event, you can define the identifier that the system displays in this field, using a SetAttributes type action for the event handler. For more information, see any of the following:

• Creating Event Handlers
• Creating Event Actions
• "Event Action Types" or "Event Action Parameters" in the Guide to the Application Event System

If you do not set this with an event action, the system uses a default identifier composed of the name of the event and the time it began running.

A good practice is to use the SetAttributes type action to create a title that makes sense in the context. For example, for an event used to track customer orders, you could create an action that produces a title like "New customer order: CO12345678." Or an event used to track changes to customers' credit limits could create a title like "Credit limit changed for Greg's Bikes."
