Events and Routings

When you create a business process in PeopleSoft Application Designer, you specify which activities form a business process and in what order they must be completed. The map provides an overview of the process, but it doesn’t provide a link between the activities. To link the activities to a workflow, you add routings, which automate the delivery of information to other activities and other users.

Events are conditions that have associated routings. Define the condition in PeopleCode, which is attached to the record definition underlying a step in a step map. When a user saves the page, completing the step, the system runs the PeopleCode program to test the condition. If the condition is met, the system performs the routings.

Routings can deliver data in two forms: worklist entries and email messages. To create a routing, specify the routing type, who should receive the data, and which data you want to send. The data is usually a subset of the data from the step that triggers the routing.
