ASPRunner Professional 7.1 manual

Events are the fragements of ASP code executed before or after record was added, edited, deleted, when new user registers etc. Therefore events allow you to define some actions that will be activated when certain conditions are met.

Here are a few examples of some common events:

·	send an email which contains the data from a new record, or shows changes to an existing record;

·	save data in another table;

·	check record uniqueness;

·	show related to current record info.

Events can be divided into global and table events. Global events are not specific to any table or view. Table events belong to a table or a view.

Intellisense

Version 6 introduces intellisense in Event Editor. Intellisense is a convenient way to access the functions' descriptions and variables. The Events Editor recognizes the functions and variables and will pop up the function description or the list of available variables to choose from.

Here are a few examples:

Data Access Layer, database field names

intellisense_dal

Javascript API functions

intellisense_jscontrols

Field names

intellisense_values

If you want to add your own functions to intellisense, check Intellisense config files.
