Aptify has a number of functional events available for use when configuring event handlers that trigger process flows. These events may be linked to entities (record events such as creating, updating, saving, or deleting a record), to applications, or may be globally applied to the entire Aptify framework.

Attachments Tab

The Attachments tab lists any files relevant to the Event Definitions record. The tab becomes available after the record is saved for the first time.

Event Definitions Tab

This tab displays any Event Definitions that use the current Event Definition as the Base Event.

Event Handlers Tab

This tab displays the list of Event Handlers that use this Event Definitions to fire a process flow.

General Tab

Name (required)

The name of the event.

Category (required)

The category of the event. This field is linked to the Event Categories service.

Description (required)

A description of the event.

Event Scope (required)

Event Scope indicates the availability of the event. By default, Entity is selected. Standard options are Entity, Application, and Global:

• Entity: Indicates that the event is entity-specific.
• Application: Indicates that the event is specific to only one application.
• Global: Indicates that the event is applicable to all applications configured within the Aptify system.

Base Event

The Base Event is the event from which this event inherits its functionality. Base Events are only used for Entity- or Application-specific events. This field links to the Event Definitions service.

Firing Sequence (required)

This field is only applicable when Base Event is populated. Firing Sequence determines if this event runs before or after the event selected as the Base Event. By default, Post-Process is selected.

• Pre-Process: Pre-process events fire before the event selected in the Base Event field. An error in this event may prevent the base event from running.
• Post-Process: Post-process events fire after the event selected in the Base Event field executes successfully.

Entity

This field is applicable only if Event Scope is set to Entity; it stores the entity to which the event applies. This field is linked to the Entities service.

Application

This field is applicable only if Event Scope is set to Application; it stores the application to which the event applies. This field is linked to the Applications service.

Comments

The comments field contains any relevant details concerning the Event Definition.

Script Tab

This tab is only applicable when Base Event is populated. On this tab, you can define a VB.NET filter trigger that determines when the event is to be fired, beyond the conditions met by the base event selected. The script you enter here is saved to a Scripts record. See Administering Scripts for more information.
