ActionHandler

Add-ons of TIM that get assigned a particular task in a process, are called Actionhandlers. They are used, for example, to send e-mails, to generate PDFs or even retrieve e-mails and process them. With TIM, an appropriate handler can be created for any conceivable use. At the end of this page is a list of currently available handlers.

Registering an Actionhandler

Actionhandlers are registered in the modeling in the process properties, e.g. in the right properties panel of Signavio. For this, a Node is selected and the Event window is opened. There, the desired Handler can be added and configured.

The same possibility exists in [[en:software:iGrafx|]] when the properties window of a [[en:glossar#Node|]] is opened.
