Events

An event is a VBScript or a JavaScript for enaio® client or enaio® webclient that you can assign to an event during a workflow process.

The sequence of an activity in a workflow process is divided into events according to the following schema:

StartActivity	Server script	After a process has been started, or after an activity and its transitions have been completed. Before a user sees the process step in the inbox.
PersonalizeWorkItem	Server script	After a user has restarted a non-personalized process step and before this process step is personalized.
GetWorkItemParams	Server script	After a user has restarted a personalized process step and the variables have been read in.
BeforeOpen	Client script	Before the client opens the application form. The event can additionally be used to call an object via the object ID in the content/detail preview. Script code: scriptresult.ContextObjIdent = ID
ButtonClick	Client script	After the user has clicked a button on the application form. The event can additionally be used to call an object via the object ID in the content/detail preview. Script code: scriptresult.ContextObjIdent = ID
OnEnterPage	Client script	After the user has activated the page of a page control on a form.
SimulateMaskEdit	Simulation script	The script is only executed in the workflow simulation program.
BeforeCancel	Client script	After the user has clicked the 'Close' button. The process step remains personalized.
BeforeForward	Client script	After the user has clicked the 'Forward' button. The script can specify whether the application form remains open for further entries.
EndActivity	Server script	After the activity has finished, before the transitions have been made.
TimerFired	Server script	After the dunning period of the corresponding activity has expired.

You can implement functions for server scripts in a global server script and functions for client scripts in a global client script. Client scripts can be created for all clients or only for ECM clients or web clients.

Global scripts are always appended to the respective event script and run together. Global server scripts can be created as VBScript or JavaScript.

Activities which run without an application can only have server scripts associated with. Activities without an application comprise loops, routes, the start activity, and the end activity.

Forms can be assigned the following events:

ButtonClick	Client script	After the user has clicked a control element.
EnterPage	Client script	After the user activates a tab.
LeavePage	Client script	After the user exits a tab.
ValueChanged	Client script	After the user has changed a value in one entry field.
FocusGained	Client script	After the user has focused on one control element.
BeforeAddRow	Client script	Before the user has added a table row.
BeforeDeleteRow	Client script	Before the user has deleted a table row.
CellValueChanged	Client script	After the user has changed a value in one table cell.
CellFocusGained	Client script	After the user has focused on one table cell.

The simulation script is used in the workflow simulation program to assign values to variables for activities.

Creating Events

Events are created using the model editor on the Events tab in the event editor.

In the Activities area, the event editor lists all of a model's activities. All entries you use to create global scripts are listed, as well.

• Select an activity.

• Select an event in the content menu or by clicking the Add event button.

The event is added to the Activities area.

• Define the script.

• Save the model.

You will find the following buttons on the toolbar of the event editor:

	Add event Select a script to add it.
	Delete Delete the selected script.
