Remarks

The event type class is used when you are creating a rule, when you are processing Create, Update, or Delete (CUD) events or due dates, and when you are displaying an alert in the inbox.

This base class is abstract. Note that changes in the base class can influence all child classes.

To add a new type of event, inherit from the EventTypeDue class or select a more specialized class.

Examples

This example demonstrates the use of the EventType class. However, this example will not compile in a job as it must be run in the context of a class, form, or other object.

typeDue = EventType::construct(_eventRule.TypeId, EventTypeTrigger::DueType); 
typeDue.setRule(_eventRule); 
typeDue.unpack(_eventRule.typeValue());
