Raising Events

Processes can be used to raise events when they reach a specific status, this allows you to trigger other chains and processes.

When a process or chain raises an event, the Raiser Comment field contains information on the raiser, this can be further customized.

The default raiser comment is the following:

Event raised by process:${jobid} (${jobdescription}) going to status ${jobstatus}.

The following substitution parameters are available for raiser comments in process definitions and chains:

• ${jobid} - The ID of the raiser process.
• ${jobdescription} - the raiser name, as displayed by the processes monitor at the time of raising the event.
• ${jobstatus} - The status of the process at the time it raised the event.
