Defining a Business Entity Type Event

A business entity type event enables you to define a list of parameters values that can be captured when an event occurs. The event of a business entity type is only a data structure. Later, when you create a business entity user instance based on this business entity type, you can define an event that specifies what trigger causes values to be assigned to these parameters.

Events and their parameters can only be defined when defining a business entity type, not when you define a business entity user instance.

An event that triggers the assignment of values to these parameters can be defined in the following places:

When defining the event of a business entity user instance, as described in Defining the Events of a User Instance.

When defining an event handler, as described in Event Handlers.

See How Tos for a list of the predefined events provided for each Real-Time Designer object.

To define a new user type event:

1.

Select a user type in the tree.

2.

On the ribbon, click New Event.

A New Event branch is added under the User Types branch that you defined.

3.

In the Event Parameters table, define the parameters to be captured when the event occurs:

Click to add a parameter to the list.

Click to delete a parameter from the list.

Click to move a parameter up or down in the list.

4.

After you add a parameter, you can select its Type from the drop-down menu:

See How Tos for a list of the predefined events provided for each Real-Time Designer object.

See Defining the Events of a User Instance to define what values are assigned to these parameters and the event that determines when they are assigned.

See Event Handlers to define the trigger for assigning values to these parameters.
