Data group event handler
A data group event handler reacts to data group events in applications:
-
After inserting a data record
-
After refreshing a data record
-
Before deleting a data record
-
when resubmitting a data record by timer
Actions and conditions can be linked to the data group event handler.
You can find the data group event handler in processes in the "Elements" area. He belongs to the "event handler" category. From there, it can be dragged and dropped to the desired location on the workspace and then configured. General information on creating process elements can be found here.
If you have created the data group event handler on the workspace, open the properties dialog by double-clicking on the element.

Restrict triggering events
In this section, you have the ability to narrow down the events to which the event handler responds. A distinction is made between two types of event:
-
internal event
Event that results from a Process Include action.
-
external event
All other types of events, e.g. the creation of a data record via the browser or the creation of a time-controlled event by a timer.
Handle external and internal events
The event handler responds to both types of event. For data group and Groovy event handlers, you can also set the following settings:
-
Handle primal and subsequent events
-
Handle primal event only
-
Handle only subsequent events
These settings cannot be set for timer event handlers and generic event handlers.
Handle internal events only
The event handler reacts to an event that arises from a Process Include action.
