Event Actions

Use this form to create, view, modify, and delete application event actions. Event actions are defined as units of work the application performs when an event is triggered and executes an associated event handler. Event handlers can include one or more actions as part of their definitions.

To create event actions, you must open this form using the Event Actions button on the Event Handlers form. If you open this form from the Explorer or the Select Form dialog box, you can only view and modify existing actions.

For guided assistance in setting parameters for an event action, click Edit Parameters. To display tabs where you can manually enter the parameter information, advanced users can click Show Details. Otherwise these tabs are hidden.

Use the Variable Access tab to limit the access that recipients of a message have to the designated variable value, and/or to set the caption for the designated variable. The variables you can limit in this manner must be variables that are used in sending event-related messages.
