Creating Simple Event Rule Assignments

Open a report template in RDA.

1. Click the object (section, variable, data item, and so forth) to which you want to attach event rules.

2. From the Edit menu, select Event Rules.

3. On the Event Rules Design form, select an event from the events drop-down list box.

   The system displays a green plus sign (+) next to events that include attached event rules.

4. Click the existing statement to add a statement to follow it.

5. Select Assignment/Expression from the Insert menu.

6. On the Assignment form, in the To Object list, select the field to which you want to assign a value.

   For example, the to object might be the report variable of a column that you inserted into the report.

   When an object is selected, the selected field appears under the To Object heading. This field is the recipient of the assigned value.

7. Select an object from the From Object/Literal list, and click OK.

   The options that are listed in From Object/Literal depend on the field that is selected as the to object.

8. On the Event Rules Design form, select Save from the File menu.

   You can also click the check mark on the toolbar.
