Map Event Definition to Workflow Dialog Box

This dialog box opens when you add a new event map from the Event Map tab of the event definition Property Editor. It enables you to associate an event definition event with an asynchronous orchestration workflow. In this dialog box, you select from the events that the event definition can raise, and select an orchestration workflow that is compatible with the selected event. You can also use this dialog box to create a new orchestration workflow.

When the event definition defines specific events, the dialog box contains only compatible events. Event compatibility is determined by the content of the Extension element in the Custom data section of the event definition editor. If two different elements have the same information in the Extensions element, then the same orchestration workflow can handle both events.

Important: An event definition must contain at least one object type and one event type.
The following table describes the configuration settings for a new event map.
