A Close Event node represents
an action to populate fields in an existing Policy Event record to signify that the associated event has been closed.
When a Close Event node is executed, the following fields will be populated
in the associated Policy Event record:
End Time
Close Description
To use a Close Event node, the policy model must also contain a Create Event node that is associated with the same Policy Event record (i.e., with the same value specified in the Event Name section on the Properties window). The properties of the Create Event node must be configured such that:
The Has Duration section is set to True.
The Start Time section contains a value.
The End Time section does not
contain a value.
In the policy model, a dotted line will appear between Create Event
and Close Event nodes that are associated with the same Policy Event record.
The Properties
window for a Close Event node contains the items that are described in
the following table. In each section, you can select the icon to specify the output of a predecessor node. The values that you define in each
section will be used to populate the corresponding fields in the associated
Policy Event record.
Item
Description
Notes
Event Namesection
Specifies
the name of the event that you want to close.
IMPORTANT:
The value that you specify in this section must
match the Event
Name value for the corresponding Create Event node
(i.e. the value in the Name field in the associated Policy Event record) in order for the event to be closed successfully.
Note: If you specify the output of a predecessor node, whether the nodes match depends on the values used when the policy is executed.
For example, you can specify the Event Name in the Create Event node using a field from an Entity node and specify the Event Name in the Close Event node using the output of a Case node. As long as the values used in execution match, the events will be recognized as matching.
End Timesection
Specifies
the timestamp that is associated with the end of the event.
