Adding an internal event

An internal event serves as a trigger that the system can detect. You specify the conditions; when they occur, the system reacts to the trigger.

About this task

For more information about events, see the event triggers topic. The following procedure describes how to add an internal event to the system.

Procedure

To add an internal event:

  1. Select the Configure tab.
  2. Click Internal Event Triggers: Internal Event Triggers icon
  3. Click Add Internal Event: Add internal event icon and perform the following steps.
    1. To set properties, enter a name and description for the internal event. The name is limited to 20 characters. The description displays in the list of internal events.
    2. From the Aggregation list box, select the type of entity for which you want to create the internal event. The disposition action affects only that entity type. For example, if you associate the disposition schedule with a record category but select record folder as the aggregation type, the disposition action affects record folders within that category.
    3. Click Next to set the conditions.
    4. To select the appropriate set of conditions, click Change. Conditions define the triggering criteria for an internal event. You can define up to five conditions for a single entity.
    5. From each property menu, select a property you want to test. You can remove a property by selecting the blank item at the beginning of the menu.
    6. When finished, click Accept Changes.
    7. For each property, select an operator and an associated value. As appropriate for each type of property, type values in text boxes. Select values from the menus. Select links to go to objects in other dialog boxes. Select dates by clicking the calendar icon, which has tooltips to guide you. Any property with a blank value is not used as a condition, with one exception. When the operator is IS NOT NULL, a value is not needed.
    8. Select one join type for all properties. Either they must all be true (AND) or any of them can be true (OR).
    9. Click Finish.
