Set up form event procedure
Application task

You can set up a form event procedure with actions that are done in a specific sequence. A form event procedure has one action or a series of actions that are done on one of these form events:
  • On init - A form is created in the form stack of the user session. Usually, this is done once for a user session.
  • On load - A form is opened on the mobile device.
  • On submit - The user submits data on the mobile device. For example, scans a barcode or enters a number.
  • On deactivate - Another form is opened with an event action of type Form.
  • On reactivate - The previous form is opened with an event action of type Return from.
Use the Up and Down buttons to define the action sequence.

Optionally, you can run an action under specific conditions. For conditions, you can use variables or functions that are available for the application or form.
