# Set up a User event

A **User** event is similar to a **Code** event. It triggers a pipeline based on a user action, such as selecting a button on a page.

## Steps - User event setup

1. Create an export connection and insert the element **USEREVENT**.
2. On the elements line, select **Edit**.
3. On the **User Event Setup** page, fill in the following fields:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Page No. | Specify the page number. The user action is added to this page. |
| Page Name | Specified automatically based on the page number. |
| Table No. | Specify the table number. This filter applies to the data set. |
| Table Filter | Specify the table filter. This filter applies to the data set. |
| Post with Job Queue | Select this field to process the connection using the job queue with a specific category. |
| Job Queue Category Code | Select the job queue category used for grouping and filtering jobs. |

1. Select **Check Configuration** to see if there are Anywhere Mobility Solutions configuration errors.
2. Select **OK**.

## Steps - Add User event to page

1. Open the page to which you want to add the action button in the D365 BC Object Designer. A User Event always requires an action button to start the event.
2. Add a new action to the page activities.
3. Create the following local variables:

| Name | DataType | Subtype |
| --- | --- | --- |
| RegisterPipelineEvent | Codeunit | N108 Register Pipeline Event |
| RecRef | RecordRef |  |

1. Add C/Side statements to this trigger:

```plaintext
Recref.GETTABLE(Rec); 
RegisterPipelineEvent.RegisterEventForRecord(RecRef);
```
