Create Events

Events are actions that contain validation rules and/or business rules. Validation rules run first and validate data before executing any rules. Business rules run after validation rules complete and perform an action. They can be incorporated into each page or for a specific field triggering an action or event. These events execute immediately when the status icon is clicked and the page refreshes.

Event rules can be created to run:

• OnLoad - Executes prior to the page displaying allowing lazy data population.

• OnValidate - Executes when a record is saved or the boaStatus icon is clicked.

• BeforeDelete - Executes before a record can officially be deleted.

• Columns - Executes at the record level from clicking a specific field. The options display as the names of the columns that can have record-level events added.

There are two ways to add events in Syniti Construct:

• Log in to System Administration, navigate to WebApps, locate the WebApp and click Pages. Locate the page and click Events.

• Navigate to the page in the WebApp where the column property is to be applied. Click the Change Settings icon on the Site toolbar, click Design, then click Events.
