Definitions of Events

Events are defined by:

  • Object Type. The type of object to which the event occurs, such as an application, business component, or applet.

  • Object Name. The name of the application, business component, or applet to which the event occurs.

  • Event. The specific event that happens to the object. The set of available events is different for different object types.

  • Application event. The following table lists available events.

Application Events Description

  • Applet. Applet events are triggered just after a method is invoked or an applet or record is displayed, as shown in the following table. For more information on events, see Using Siebel Tools.

Applet Event Description

DisplayApplet

An applet is displayed.

DisplayRecord

A record is displayed.

InvokeMethod

A method is invoked.

PreInvokeMethod

  • Subevent. The subevent represents the following information according the event and object type, as determined by the object type (the following table).

When the object type is... Then...

BusComp or Applet and the event is InvokeMethod or PreInvokeMethod

The subevent is the name of the method to monitor.

The method name is found in Siebel Tools, in the Invoke Method property of the control that calls the method.

BusComp and the event is SetFieldValue or PreSetFieldValue

The subevent is the name of the field to monitor.

Application and the event is ViewDeactivated or ViewActivate

The subevent is the name of the view to monitor.

Application and the event is SetAttribute

The subevent is the name of the attribute.

  • Conditional Expression. Adds additional control. If the conditional expression evaluates to TRUE, the action is triggered when the event occurs.

    Note: The field referenced in the conditional expression must be activated, either by setting the field to force active or by displaying it on the applet, to trigger the run-time event.

  • Action Set. What actions are taken when the event occurs. Action sets are defined in the Action Sets view under Administration - Runtime Events.

    Most actions set or modify user profile attributes. These set expressions store information that is later used to tailor content delivery.

  • Sequence. The order in which the action set associated with this event in this record executes, relative to other action sets associated with this event. Runtime events with a sequence value of -1, such as a system generated workflow events for workflow processes, are executed first.
