The Event tab on the Process Policy form is used to associate an export process with a particular Sender Name and Event/Event Type. This information can then be used to determine which export process is applicable for a given transaction, and the Sender Name for the export process. The Sender Name will be used to determine which external system will receive attendance and labor transactions.
The Event tab can also be used to associate a Ruleset Profile with a Process Policy. The ANALYTICS service uses Ruleset Profiles to process transactions for KPI measurements.
You can view and define export processes on the Process Name form.

When a transaction is posted, the system needs to determine which process to assign to the transaction. To do so, the system first checks to see if the person who posted the transaction has been assigned a Process Policy.
If the person does not have a Process Policy, then all processes will be assigned to the transaction but the Sender Name will be set to UNKNOWN_SENDER.
If the person has a Process Policy, the system checks the Process Name form to see which processes require that the Process Policy be checked; these processes have Use Policy Interface checked.
Next, the system begins to check the person’s Process Policy. First, the system checks the Event tab in the Process Policy. Based on the event being posted, the system can determine which Process Name and Sender Name to assign to the transaction.
If the event being posted does not have a Process Policy/Event record, the system checks the Process tab in the Process Policy to determine which Process Name and Sender Name to assign to the transaction.
If there are no Process Policy/Event or Process Policy/Process records, then the transaction will not be assigned any export processes.
Policy Name
Name of the Process Policy that is selected on the Process Policy form.
Process Name
Name of the export process for which the specified Event Type ID or Event will be applicable. Available options are defined in the process_status_definition table with use_policy_interface_flag = 1. Most of these options can be viewed on the Process Name form.
Event Type ID
Event type or category for which the specified Process Name will be applicable. Available options are ATTENDANCE and LABOR event types defined on the Event Type form.
Event
Name of a specific event for which the specified Process Name will be applicable. Available options are ALL or the names of events defined on the Events form that have the specified Event Type ID.
Sender Name
Identifies the external system that will receive attendance or labor transactions generated by the specified Process Name for the specified Event/Event Type ID. Available options are defined as Senders on the Interface Host form. When you are adding or modifying a Process Policy/Event record, the Sender Name is required for certain export processes. These export processes are defined on the Process Name form with the Sender Name Required box checked (process_status_definition.sender_name_required_flag = 1).
