Event Types and Contexts

For each server trigger, the log lists the event and context. In addition, the log lists the server trigger on which the workflow entered the state. For example, if the workflow entered the state on a Before Record Load trigger, and the user viewed the record, the ONENTRY trigger displays as:

Running ONENTRY trigger under BEFORELOAD (Event: CREATE; Context: USERINTERFACE)

You can optionally set the context and event type for workflow initiation for specific use cases in the workflow definition. However, even if you do not specify the context or event type in the workflow definition, the log displays the context and event for each server trigger. For more information about event types and contexts, see the following:

The following screenshot shows a workflow execution log for a record that entered a state on a Before Record Load trigger:
