You can set up an application event procedure with actions that are done in a specific sequence. An application event procedure has one action or a series of actions that are done on one of these application events:

  • On load - An application is loaded to a mobile device.
  • On logoff - A user logs off from the application. The user session is stopped and removed from the active sessions list. Note: On logoff does not take place if a user session expires.
  • On menu select - A menu is opened on the mobile device.
Use the Up and Down buttons to define the action sequence.

Optionally, you can run an action under specific conditions. For conditions, you can use functions that are available for the application.
