11.3.1.1.1. General Tab

In the General tab, users can define the basic properties of the event.

*If ‘auto’ or ‘system’ are selected as event types, users will be provided access to a limited set of features in this tab.

1. Event Type: This is a single-select dropdown field that displays the list of event types.
   • Depending on the event type selected, different fields may be enabled or disabled in the window.
2. Name: This is a text field that allows users to input the name of the event. It is a mandatory field.
   • There are the following rules determining the validity of names:
     • A valid name can contain letters, numbers, and the underscore symbol. It cannot, however, contain spaces or other special characters. It also cannot begin with a number.
     • An event must have a unique name. It cannot have the same name as another event linked to the entity.
3. Title: This is a text field that allows users to input the title of the event.
   • Unlike with names, there are no rules determining the validity of titles.

*Users can input the title in English, French, German, Arabic, and Hebrew. Currently, these are the only languages supported on the web server.

4. Can Run Background: This is a checkbox which, if selected, allows for the event to run in the background. A background-capable event is an event that can be executed without requiring the associated form to be viewed.

*For this feature to work, users must also select the Formless Events checkbox in the Task Type Properties form.

5. Has Timesheet: This is a checkbox which, if selected, allows for a timestamp of the event to be recorded.
