Cut Event Types
You will find that most of the time spent setting up your cut event types is spent setting up the objects that are referenced on the cut event type algorithms. For example, if you use the base-package algorithms, you may need to set up the following:
• The various "types" for the objects created by the plug-ins. For example, if a cut event type creates a To Do entry, you must supply the desired To Do 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-package.
• Messages that are used to define the verbiage in the log entries. For example, if you use the base-package 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-package algorithms (this means you should not have to set up new messages).
• Etc.
The only way to compile the complete list is to design the parameters for each cut event type algorithm. Refer to Cut 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 cut event types.
