Setting Up Workflow Event Types
Workflow event types control what is done by a given workflow event. Open > > > to define your workflow event types.

Description of Page
Enter a unique Workflow Event Type and Description for the event type.
Turn on Allow Manual Completion if an operator is allowed to change the status of workflow events of this type to Complete.
The
Event Activation Algorithm is used by the system when it activates a workflow event of this type. Refer to
Executing Workflow Events On Their Trigger Date and
Designing Workflow Event Types for more information. If you haven't done so already, you must set up this algorithm in the system. To do this:
• On this algorithm, reference an Algorithm Type that is associated with workflow event activation. The system comes supplied with several sample algorithm types that should be used as a sample if you have to write a new algorithm type.
The
Event Failure Algorithm is used by the system when a workflow event of this type fails. This algorithm need only be defined if events of this type can fail. Refer to
Some Workflow Events May Fail and
Designing Workflow Event Types for more information. If you haven't done so already, you must set up this algorithm in the system. To do this:
• On this algorithm, reference an Algorithm Type that is associated with workflow event failure. The system comes supplied with several sample algorithm types that should be used as a sample if you have to write a new algorithm type.
The
Wait Process is the background process responsible for monitoring workflow events of this type that are in the Waiting state. Refer to
Waiting Events And Their Waiting Process for more information.
