You will find that most of the time spent setting up your overdue event types is spent setting up the objects that are referenced on the overdue event type algorithms. For example, if you use the base-product algorithms, you will set up the following:
The various "types" for the objects created by the plug-ins. For example,
If an overdue event type creates a To Do entry, you must set up the To Do type.
If an overdue event type creates a customer contact, you must set up the customer contact type.
Foreign key characteristic types that are used to reference the ancillary objects in the log entries (e.g., if an event creates a customer contact, the log references this customer contact using a FK characteristic type). Note, many of these will exist in the base-product.
Messages that are used to define the verbiage in the log entries. For example, if you use the base-product algorithm that creates a customer contact, you must supply the desired message category and number that contains the verbiage that appears in the log when customer contacts are created. Note, messages have been set up for all base-product algorithms (this means you should not have to set up new messages).
The only way to compile the complete list is to design the parameters for each overdue event type algorithm. Refer to Overdue Event Type - Main for the supported plug-in spots.
After you've set up the objects referenced on the algorithms, you can then set up the algorithms. Only then can you set up the overdue event types.
