Adding an Event Map to a Page

This topic provides step-by-step instructions on adding an event to a MicroStrategy Web page.

1. Launch the New Event Map Wizard.

2. Select Yes or No from the radio dial labeled Map this event only when the source is servlet, depending on the desired behavior.  

3. Enter information about the Source bean.

   • If you select Yes, on the Map this event only when the source is servlet radio dial, enter the following information about the source bean in the Source section.

     • Use the drop-down menu to select the name of the source event to be mapped.

       This is the event that is originated by the source bean. Normally this event is processed by the source bean itself; however, the event map will modify this behavior and delegate the processing of the source event to a different bean (target bean).

   • If you select No, enter the following information about the source bean in the Source section.

     • Click on the … button to select the source bean.

       This is the bean that actually originates the event. The event map will delegate the execution of the event from this web bean to a different bean (target bean). You can directly enter the name of the bean in the Enter type name text box or enter ? to see a list of all beans currently available.

     • Select from the drop-down list, the name of the source event which will be mapped.

       This is the event that is originated by the source bean.

4. Enter information for the Target bean.
   

   • Select a target bean from the drop-down list.

     This bean will handle the execution of the event originated by the source bean. 

   • Select from the drop-down list, the name of the target event.

     This is the user action to which the source event will be mapped to.

5. Click Next. 

6. Click Add to select arguments that will be mapped.

   Use the dialog to specify arguments to be passed from the source bean to the target bean. 

7. Click the Click here... text in the Source Arguments column to select the argument to be mapped.

   This is the argument in the source event that has to be mapped to a target argument.

8. Click the Click here... text in the Target Arguments column to select the argument to be mapped to.

   This is the argument in the target event to which the source argument has to be mapped to. 

9. Click Next. 
10. Click Finish. The new event is added to the list of events for the page under the Event Maps section. 
11. Save your changes.

You can edit or delete the event by selecting the event and clicking on the edit event or delete event button respectively.
