Create an Event Provider

Use the New option to create an event provider.

To create a new event provider:

1. On the Action bar of the Event Provider page, click New. The New Event Provider page appears.

2. In the Title box, type a name for the event provider, and in the Description box, type a description for the event provider.

3. In the Provider Type box, enter the type of provider. This field is mandatory.

4. In the Display Priority box, enter the priority. This field is mandatory. As the name indicates, the event providers are displayed in the Association page based on the priority specified for the event providers.
   We recommend you to specify the display priority from 11 onwards because AVEVA Work Tasks might introduce new event providers which might be assigned priority from six to 10.

5. Click Save & Continue. The event provider is created.

6. Click OK.

The following table shows the order in which the AVEVA Work Tasks event providers are displayed in the Association page. You can change the priority order.

Note:
When you create a new event provider, an entry is created in the SKEEventProviders table. However, the entry does not appear in the Association page. You must manually add the event name to the SKAddInProviders table.

If the event provider is already assigned a priority, no error message appears at the time of creation. However, there regarding which event provider to be displayed first. You might get a page crash while opening the association page.

To display the newly created event provider, you have to write an Event Provider class and the functionality for it. For more details about how to write a class and add functionality, see Developing Business Processes section.
