Workflow event: Custom event

Modified on Tue, 18 Jul, 2023 at 9:47 AM

A custom event does not occur automatically, but must be triggered manually by a user. This can be done, for example, via the inbox or by means of an action of the type "Trigger user-defined event". Furthermore, it can be defined which user groups can trigger this event in the inbox and which status the form record must have for this.
