3.7.1 Using the Events Mapper

You can use the Events Mapper on any of the alternate Reflection interfaces. Use the Events Mapper to assign actions to events, determine whether the events should be canceled or removed after the first time they are handled, and order the events.

To set up actions for events

  1. Open the Events Mapper as follows:

    The steps depend on your user interface mode.

    User Interface Mode

    Steps

    Ribbon

    On the Tools tab, click Events Mapper.

    TouchUx

    Tap the Wrench icon and then select Events Mapper.

    Reflection Browser

    On the Reflection menu, choose Tools and then Events Mapper.

    Classic

    On the View menu, select Events Mapper.

  2. To add an event, click New and then follow the instructions in the Event Editor wizard to select the type of event, specify the parameters for the event (if required), add an action for the event, and determine whether to disable it after it runs the first time. When you are through, name the event you created.

    The event is displayed in the Events Mapper Events list. Note that the checkbox next to the event is selected. This indicates that the action associated with the event will be performed the next time the event is handled. If you have selected to disable the “event state after the action is complete”, this checkbox will be automatically unselected after the event runs.

  3. To insert a copy of an event, select the event in the Events list and then click Duplicate.

  4. Before you save the session document file, be sure to select the checkboxes next to the events in the Events list (if you want them to run the next time you open the session).
