Event Handlers

Use this form to create, modify, and delete application event handlers to use with specified events in the system.

An event handler is defined and identified by a combination of these characteristics:

The event with which it is associated
A handler sequence number

For example, an event (MyEvent) might have three event handlers associated with it. To identify and work with the second of these handlers, you would identify it on this form by looking up MyEvent in the grid view list of events and then locating the one that has the number 2 in the Handler Sequence field.

Each event handler consists of at least one event action. It might also include an initial state, which includes a set of variable values for the event handler to use when it starts executing. Finally, each event handler also has a set of attributes and options that govern how it behaves and interacts with other event handlers.

Note: You can modify only those event handlers that have the current Access As value as displayed on the Access As form. You can delete only those event handlers that you have created, unless they are part of an application. If an event handler is used in an application, you cannot delete it, you can only mark it as "Obsolete" to disable it from further use.
