How do I add events to my application?

Once you have created an iSeriesLink Application, you can click the ADD the button to add events to your application.

Select the screen

Specify cursor position requirements if you want the event to occur only when the cursor is within certain boundaries of that screen -- Example: on a subfile screen, you may require the cursor to be within the boundaries of the subfile.

Specify the Function Key to trigger the event. You can check the Ctrl and Shift checkboxes for combination keys -- Example: Ctrl-F1 or Shift-F5.

Specify the Action: Open File, Get URL, or Run Program.

The File Name, URL, or Program Path can be a combination of constant and variable data. Variable data is text extracted from the screen. You can mix and match constant and variable data using the two buttons: [+ Constant…] and [+ Extracted Text…].

Press Save once you are done defining the event. Your event will appear under iSeriesLink App Events. You may edit or delete your event at any time by clicking on the Edit or on the Delete button.

To test your event(s), click the "Compile and Download" button.
