This topic explains how to create events through the app. For events to be sent to the Workflow module, the Manage events from the Workflow module feature must have been selected when the app was registered in the Authorized Applications section of the Administration module. Note that to create an event through the application, the authenticated user must have permission to create events in the system. All event information can be provided offline, however, an internet connection is necessary in order for events to be sent to the system.
1. Tap Events and select Create Event at the top of the list of events (see figure below).
The app displays a window where a new event can be created.
2. Tap the Title field and enter a title for the event. This field accepts a maximum of 2,500 characters. If left blank, a default name will be entered in the field.
3. Tap the Type field and select an event type from the list that appears.
4. Tap the Description field and enter a description to help identify the event using up to 4,000 characters. If left blank, a default description will be entered in the field.
5. In the Urgency field, slide the button across the line to define the urgency of the event, setting it to one of the following values: Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Very High.
6. When finished, tap Create to create the event (see figure below). If you want to quit the operation, tap Cancel.
7. If the event was created offline, a pop-up window will be displayed indicating that the event will be sent when the application is connected to the internet. Tab Yes to confirm. If you want to quit this operation, tap No (see figure below).
Once created, the new event will be available at the top of the list of events and will be sent to the system. All events registered offline will be listed at the top of the main list of events (see figure below).
