Event Actions

Event actions are actions executed when some event happens in the project. An example would be logging when the project was opened and closed, so it can be later reviewed how much one worked on it, or sending a mail when a file is saved, or adding the file to the CVS with the help of a script when the file is added to the project and the list could continue.

On the Event Configuration page of the Project->Project Properties (Shift+F7) dialog you can create, edit and delete the event actions.


The event editor dialog


The entries in the dialog are:

Event

the action is executed when the event selected from the list happens. The event names are self explanatory.

Action

the type of the executed action. The possible choices are

Non-script action

an action that is not a user defined script action. See the section called “User Defined Actions” for user action.

Action name specifies the action to be executed when the event happens.

Send email

an email is sent when the action happens to the recipient selected in the Receiver list. The recipient can be a team or subproject leader. See the section called “Team Development” for defining such leaders.

Log event

the event is logged in a file. The arguments for this action are:

Log file

the filename with full path

Detail

How much information will the log contain

Behavior

Whether to create/overwrite the existing log file or append the new logged event to it.

Script action

an user defined script action. See the section called “User Defined Actions” for user action.

Action name specifies the action to be executed when the event happens.

The other entries depend on the Action type as they were described.
