Data Group Event Handler
A data group event handler responds to data group events in applications:
-
after inserting a record
-
after updating a record
-
Before deleting a record
-
When a record is resubmitted by the timer
Actions and conditions can be linked using the data group event handler.
You can find the data group event handler in Processes under "Elements." It belongs to the "Event Handler" category. From there, it can be dragged and dropped to the desired location on the desktop and then configured. General information on creating process elements can be found here.
Once you have created the data group event handler on the workspace, double-click the element to open the Properties dialog box.

Limit Triggering Events
In this section, you can specify which events the event handler responds to. A distinction is made between two types of events:
-
internal event
An event that results from a " Bind Process" action.
-
external event
All other types of events, such as creating a record via the browser or setting up a time-based event using a timer.
Responding to External and Internal Events
The event handler responds to both types of events. For data group and Groovy event handlers, you can also configure the following settings:
-
Respond to the initial event and subsequent events
-
Respond only to the first event
-
Respond only to subsequent events
These settings cannot be configured for timer event handlers and generic event handlers.
Respond only to internal events
The event handler responds to an event triggered by a " Integrate Process" action.
