Custom action event
The predefined enumeration Custom action event (CustomActionEvent) defines custom Triggering events for triggering Event handling.
The list can be customised.
Only the default type (DynamicEnumConfiguration) with the ‘Icon URI’ (iconUri) field is available for the configuration of enumeration values.
Using customised action events
Custom action events can be assigned to Event handling as ‘Triggering events’ (see Custom action event (Events)).
While triggering Triggering events are generally triggered automatically depending on the system, a Custom action event must always be triggered explicitly. Various mechanisms are available for this:
The Dispatch action event in Event handling or Client workflows.
The Dispatch custom action event (Form designer) behaviour in forms (Input forms, Portals, Dashboard).
The ribbon command 'Dispatch: <Custom action event>' (see Available commands) in Ribbon macros.
An Import (Single import or Batch import) with the DISPATCH_EVENT 'Action'.
No default values are preset at the factory.

Runtime example:

The screenshot on the right shows an event handling that reacts to the Custom action event ‘Look-up’ as the Triggering event. The context menu for Triggering events can be added by clicking on the All events created in the Custom action event list appear in the ‘Custom action event’ category for selection. They can also be ‘tracked down’ using the search function and then added. ►IMPORTANT◄ If a localisation is applicable (here: ‘Look-up’), only this is taken into account by the search function. In this case, the internal name (AUTOCOMPLETE) is not suitable as a search term. |

The screenshot on the right shows a Dispatch action event for which ‘Look-up’ is selected as the Event to be triggered. ►NOTE◄ Together with the localisation, the icon assigned by Icon URI also appears in the Combobox element. |
