How to: Set up a User Event

A User Event is similar to a Code Event. It triggers a pipeline based on a user action, such as selecting a button on a page.

To set up a User Event:

1. Create an export connection and insert the element USEREVENT.
2. On the elements line, select Edit.
3. On the User Event Setup page, fill in the following fields:

Field	Description
Page No.	Specify the page number. The user action is added to this page.
Page Name	Specified automatically based on the page number.
Table No.	Specify the table number. This filter applies to the data set.
Table Filter	Specify the table filter. This filter applies to the data set.
Post with Job Queue	Select this field to process the connection using the job queue with a specific category.
Job Queue Category Code	Select the job queue category used for grouping and filtering jobs.

4. Select Check Configuration to see if there are any configuration errors.
5. Select OK.

To add a User Event to a page:

1. Open the page to which you want to add the action button in the NAV Object Designer. A User Event always requires an action button to start the event.
2. Add a new action to the page activities.
3. Create the following local variables:

Name	DataType	Subtype
RegisterPipelineEvent	Codeunit	N108 Register Pipeline Event
RecRef	RecordRef

4. Add C/Side statements to this trigger:

   Recref.GETTABLE(Rec); 
   RegisterPipelineEvent.RegisterEventForRecord(RecRef);
