Creating a Logical Event

A logical event is a construct you define to specify what happens in response to physical events, such as when the end user presses a function key or enters a subfile option. You can map a logical event to more than one physical event. For example, you can map a logical event called ClosePanel to two physical events: pressing Enter or pressing F3.

To add a logical event to the Edit Project panel:

  1. Open Project.Grid Maintenance Suite.Edit Grid User Interface.List Panel.
  2. Expand the Panel Palette so that you can see the Events folder.
  3. Right-click the Events folder, and choose Create Event from the pop‑up menu.

    The Create Event dialog appears:

    PLEX--Creating a Logical Event

  4. Enter Modify Tasks and press OK.

    You have now created a logical event. Later, you will add functionality to the Project.Grid Maintenance Suite.Edit Grid User Interface function to tell it what to do when the Modify Tasks logical event is triggered.

  5. Leave the panel open so that you can perform the following tasks.
