What is it for?

An event is used to give names to triggers (such as button presses or errors) that can be acted upon within a flow

What is it?

An event is the description of the action used for page navigation or processes. Events are triggered by:

  • pressing a button on a page
  • a service
  • the end of a flow

Events can have parameters. They refine the event. When linking an event to a button you can select which parameters are actually transmitted together with the triggered event.


Parameters can be used in expressions with the expression system.event. This is a multivalued attribute, and will be filled with all parameters that were set to true when clicking on that button.

An expression to see if a parameter was set could be: ["parameterA"] SUBSET OF system.event

A list of parameters that default components set can be found here.

  1. Only parameters are ever set in "system.event". If you want to have the original event too, it should also be added as a parameter and then selected with the parameter at the button on the page. For example, an Action event with parameters Create, Delete would have to add Action as a parameter. Then you select both Action and f.e. Create when using the button.
