Create Custom Event Type

The following steps outline the process of creating a Custom Event Type:

1. On the Subscription form, click Edit.

2. From the Subscription form, scroll down to the Event Types tab and click New Event Type.

   

   

   The Select Item Type dialog box appears.

   

   

3. Select Custom Event Type and click OK.

   

   

   A new row appears on EventTypes tab.

   

   

4. Right-click on the newly added row and click Open.

   

   

   The Custom Event Type form appears.

   

   

5. Add the Event Name and Description.

   The Event Name is required to map the event in the publishing queue to the type of event.

6. Click Done to save.

   The Handled By tab shows all the Event Handlers that process this Custom Event Type grouped by Subscriptions. Make sure to save the Subscription; otherwise, the Subscription will not be visible.

   The Administrators need to develop a method to generate the Server Events that trigger the additional events in the publishing queue.
