Events
Overview
The Events section lists all events available for Source and Target systems. Events define what should be triggered when an event is received. Each ROI iAM event has a name and each event is bound to a specific ROI iAM Model Entity.
There are three views available for this section: one list view and two detail views. The list view is divided into Source and Target events. Each event has two detail views: the first one shows the bound model entities and the respective event for each model entity; the second detail view can be opened when a bound event is selected, and shows a table which displays what repository types can use this event.
