Event Processing Objects

Child EVENT's

Child EVENT's under an EVENT PROCESSING→EVENT define various EVENT's that can occur in an EASAP. For example:

When one of these events takes place, the ACTION's under the EVENT PROCESSING→ACTION GROUP will be performed.

Child EVENT's
APPLICATION OPENEDRecognizes when the EASAP has been opened
BUTTON PRESSEDRecognizes when one of the specified buttons has been pressed on the EASAP user interface
POLL REQUESTRecognizes when a POLL has fired from the USER INTERFACE
RESULTS COMPLETEDRecognizes when a submitted run has completed processing
SUBMIT CHECKRecognizes when the submission check has been initiated on the EASAP user interface
SUBMIT COMPLETEDRecognizes when a submission has been successfully sent to the EASA Server for processing
TAB SELECTEDRecognizes when a user clicks on the tab of a specified TABBED PANE
TABLE SELECTEDRecognizes when a user clicks in cells, rows or columns within a specified TABULATED DATA
VALUE CHANGEDRecognizes when the value of one of the specified objects has been changed on the EASAP user interface

Order of EVENT's

If two EVENT PROCESSING trees contain the same event such as an APPLICATION OPENED EVENT, the EVENT PROCESSING→ACTION GROUP's are processed from the top of the EASAP Tree downwards.

When more than one Child EVENT is specified under an EVENT PROCESSING→EVENT, the logical OR is used (ie. if event1 or event2 or event3 takes place, then the defined ACTION's will be performed).

Child ACTION's

ACTION's under an EVENT PROCESSING→ACTION GROUP will be performed when any Child EVENT's under EVENT PROCESSING→EVENT are triggered.

Order of ACTION's

When more than one ACTION's are specified under a EVENT PROCESSING→ACTION GROUP, ACTION's will be performed in the order they appear on the EASAP Tree from top to bottom.
