Page Event Parameters V

Page Event Parameters H

Field

Description

Priority

Displays the sort order on this page to indicate the parameter’s relative importance or logical grouping. The priority order is used when aligning values from another event to call this event. The framework auto-inserts the table’s key fields in their order from the table, and/or the page’s column properties marked as keys. Commonly, higher priority parameters are specific to other business rules, such as plugins or procedures that expect other row data.

Parameter Name

Displays the name of the parameter passed by a WebApp to run this Public event. The key field(s) on the table upon which the page is based are included by default if the Public check box is checked on the Page Events page’s Vertical View.

Parameter Type

Displays whether the parameter is a key field on the table when executing this public event and must be passed or is optional. Options are:

  • Required – A value for this parameter must be passed to the event
  • Key – The value passed for this event must be a key(s) value. This value is also required, but is treated as a key field, not a data field, during event execution.
  • Optional – A value for this parameter could be passed to the event, but it is not required.

NOTE: The value selected is displayed to a developer, when setting up an event to call this public event from another page.

Description

Displays a description of the parameter.
