How Are Workflow Events Created?

Workflow events may be created as follows:

The process that uploads notification requests creates a workflow process to implement the notification request. The workflow process has one or more workflow event(s). The number and type of events is controlled by the workflow process template associated with the workflow process. Refer to What Type Of Workflow Process Is Created? for more information about how notification requests cause workflow processes to be created.
Workflow events will be created when an operator creates an ad hoc workflow process. The number and type of workflow events are controlled by the workflow process template associated with the workflow process.
An ad hoc workflow event may be created and linked to an existing workflow process by an operator at their discretion.
The system may be customized to create a workflow process when something noteworthy happens in the system. Refer to System Conditions May Trigger Notification and Workflow for more information.

Note:

Bottom line. Most workflow events are created by the system when it creates a workflow process to implement an incoming notification. If you need to create an ad hoc workflow event, you can either create a workflow process using a template that contains the desired event OR link the desired event to an existing workflow process.
