Event Actions Setup

To create an Event Action, go to Maintenance / Advanced Customizations / Event Actions.  This opens the Event Actions Setup dialog, which lists all current Event Actions and has the typical functions for Adding, Inserting, Editing, etc.

You can also Export one or more Event Actions to a text file, or Import Event Actions.  This is primarily for you to import Actions created by the software provider, though it can also be used to transfer Actions between multiple databases.

Event Actions cannot have duplicate names. If you make a Copy of an Action, text like "(copy 1)" will be added to the name to make sure it's unique.  Of course you can change this to be more appropriate.  Duplicate checking for the names is not case-sensitive ("My Action" is considered the same as "my action").

Rearranging Event Actions

The order in which the Event Actions appear here in Event Actions Setup will determine the order in which they're processed, in particular if there's more than one Action defined for the same Event Trigger.  While this is not likely to matter in most cases, if more than one Action is triggered by the same Event, then the results of one could affect other.  If you want to move them around, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
