Events

Overview

In noKodr, Events are used to facilitate communication between different layouts. Users can create multiple events tailored to specific scenarios, allowing one layout to trigger actions or send data to another layout. This feature enables seamless interaction and coordination between layouts, enhancing the overall functionality of the application.

Note: You may encounter predefined events within the system, and these events are locked, meaning they cannot be modified or deleted. They are provided as reference points to assist you in creating new events. You can use these predefined events as templates.

Key Features of Events

  • Triggering Actions: Events can be set to trigger actions like updating fields, displaying messages, or navigating between layouts when a specific user action occurs, such as a button click or form submission.

  • Workflow Integration: Events can be integrated with workflows to automate complex processes, like sending notifications, updating records, or executing logic based on user input or system changes.

  • Inter-Component Communication: Events enable different layouts to communicate and react to each other, such as updating one component based on changes in another.
