Event
The term event has six uses:
Business events
Users who have access to the Case Manager portal can create and subscribe to business events. For example, they can define as a business event the condition that a work item of a specific type is entered or updated to have a total dollar amount above $500,000, or that new work involving a specific work party (an important customer) is resolved. The system detects these events and can send an email to the event creator, or to other subscribers, when the event occurs.
Service level events
When the deadline time or goal time for an assignment is reached but the assignment remains unperformed, an escalation event occurs, and processing defined in the service level rule determines what happens next to the assignment or the work item.
Business exception events
A business policy exception can be automatically detected by a Declare OnChange rule associated with a flow. Such events can cause the work item to be suspended until a reviewer examines the situation leading to the exception
Newsfeed events
When a developer checks in a rule or deletes a rule, this creates an instance of the Pega-Events class and is reported on the Designer Studio newsfeed.
User interface events
UI events are initiated by a user a clicking a button, changing or entering a property in an input field, or selecting a value as in a dynamic select field, for example. Events can automatically trigger actions such as refreshing a screen, launching a modal dialog, updating values in a list, or hiding a property.Alerts
Each entry in the alert log is known as an alert event.
