Understanding the names of events

The names and syntax of event procedures are predefined. You can edit only the body. A prototype of a procedure looks like the following example:

Sub DocGenericEvent_AfterPrint(Batch)
            'Add your code here
End Sub

The names of event procedures include the event category and the event name. In the example above, the event category is DocGenericEvent and the event name is AfterPrint. With event procedure names standardized this way, you can easily identify the purpose of each procedure. You can view all of the TeamWork event procedures with the Events and Procedures browser in the TeamWork Script Editor.

Note    For brevity and readability, some of the event names in this guide show an asterisk * in the position of the procedure name that represents the event type. This means that there are separate Initialize, Before, After, and Terminate event procedures for the event, but they are all described in the same topic. For example, following are the event procedure names for the Print event:

• DocGenericEvent_InitializePrint
• DocGenericEvent_BeforePrint
• DocGenericEvent_AfterPrint
• DocGenericEvent_TerminatePrint

In this guide, all four event procedures are described in the DocGenericEvent_*Print topic.
