Events

The Events tab displays a list of prioritized screen events (screen customizations and screen combinations) contained in your project as well as application events.

If the check box next to the name of a screen event is selected, that event is enabled for the project. When a screen event is enabled, and the screen recognition criteria match the host screen, ZIETrans performs the actions specified for that event, and no more screen events are checked for matches. When a screen event is disabled, ZIETrans ignores the event. If you want to test certain screen events, you can disable other screen events. To disable a screen event, clear the check box while you are testing.

ZIETrans applications check each incoming host screen against the list of enabled screen events. If there are multiple screen events that match a given screen, the first screen event that matches the screen is applied. The higher priority screen events should be near the top of the list. For example, you might have one screen event that recognizes a few specific screens, and a second one that recognizes a more general set of screens. If the second screen event is higher in the list than the first, a screen might be recognized by the more general screen recognition criteria and perform the associated actions, rather than recognizing the screen by the more specific criteria and performing the associated actions of the first screen event.

If you want to change the priority of any of the screen events, highlight the event by clicking it. Then click either Up or Down to move the event higher or lower in the list. For more information, see Screen event priority.
Note: If you have a screen event that specifies an identified next screen, the identified screens will take priority. For more information, see Next Screen.

If you want to edit an application event, click the link of the event below Application Events that you want to edit. For more information see Application events.
