Event Triggers

Use this form to view and create triggers for events.

A trigger is a condition that causes an event to fire. Triggers can be based on conditions that are created:

• 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

This form is used to set conditions of the second type.

For more information, see "About Event Triggers" in the Guide to the Application Event System.

For the procedure to create a trigger, see Creating Event Triggers.

When the condition evaluates as positive and the event is fired, 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.
