Event

The term event has six uses:

Business events

Business events are deprecated.

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.

Tracer events

The Tracer tool can detect and record break conditions, rule executions of specific types, and other processing events within your session.
