About the briefcase events

All of the briefcase event procedures have Briefcase as one of the arguments. The Briefcase argument is an object representing the current briefcase. This object has two properties:

• Path: The full path to the briefcase file. This property is read-only in all event procedures except BrcEvent_BeforeCreate.
• TemplateName: The name of the briefcase template from which the briefcase was created. For more information on briefcase templates, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.

The events that occur for the briefcase commands (in alphabetical order) are shown in the following lists in the sequence that they occur.
