1. Navigate to the Create Group page or to the Update Group page. The Create Group page and the Update Group page are identical, except that the fields in the Update Group page are populated with previously defined information for the selected event group.

Note: For seeded event groups with a customization level of Limit, you can only update the event group status. For seeded event groups with a customization level of Core, you cannot update any properties; you can only view the event group definition.

Note: Your Oracle Applications installation may include seeded event groups owned by Oracle Applications products that you have not licensed. For such events, the Update Group page displays a notice that the event group is not licensed. Oracle Workflow will not execute any subscriptions to these event groups.

2. Enter the internal name of the event group in the Name field. The internal name is case-sensitive. The suggested format is a compound structure of identifiers separated by periods (.) as follows:

	<company>.<family>.<product>.<component>.<object>.<event>

3. Enter a display name for the event group.

4. Enter an optional description for the event group.

5. Select Enabled or Disabled as the event group status. If you disable an event group, its definition remains in the Event Manager for reference, but you cannot use the event group in active subscriptions.

6. Identify the program or application that owns the event group by entering the program name in the Owner Name field and the program ID in the Owner Tag field.

7. You can review the customization level for the event group.

• Core - No changes can be made to the event group definition. This level is used only for event groups seeded by Oracle Applications.

• Limit - The event group status can be updated to Enabled or Disabled, but no other changes can be made to the event group definition. This level is used only for event groups seeded by Oracle Applications.

• User - Any property in the event group definition can be updated. This level is automatically set for event groups that you define.

8. Select the Apply button to save the event group. You can also select the Cancel button to return to the previous page without saving the event group.

9. The Events in Group region displays the events that are members of the group. For each event, the list displays the internal name, display name, type, status, owner name, and owner tag. Select the Name, Display Name, Type, or Status column heading to sort the list by that column.

Note: An event group can contain only individual events as its members. It cannot contain another group.

10. To add a member event to the group, select the Add Events to Group button.

11. In the Add Events to Group page, enter search criteria to locate the events you want to add. The main search option is:

• Name - Enter the internal name of the event you want to add. You can enter a partial value to search for events whose internal names contain that value.

12. You can also enter additional search criteria to search for events by other characteristics. To show the additional options if they are hidden, select the Show More Search Options link. To hide these options if they are shown, select the Hide More Search Options link. The additional search criteria are:

• Display Name - Enter the display name of the event you want to add.

• Status - Select Enabled or Disabled as the status of the events you want to add.

• Owner Name - Enter the name of the program or application that owns the event you want to add.

• Owner Tag - Enter the program ID of the program or application that owns the event you want to add.

13. Select the Go button to perform your search.

14. The Add Events region displays the events that match your search criteria. For each event, the list displays the internal name, display name, type, status, owner name, and owner tag. Select the Name, Display Name, Type, or Status column heading to sort the list by that column.

15. Select the event or events that you want to add to your event group, and select the Add to Group button.

16. You can optionally enter new search criteria to search for other events to add to the event group.

17. After you finish adding events to the event group, select the Apply button to save the event group members. You can also select the Cancel button to return to the previous page without saving the event group members.

18. To delete a member event from the group, select the event in the Create Group or Update Group page and select the Delete button. In the Delete page, select the Apply button. You can also select the Cancel button to return to the previous page without deleting the event.

Note: Deleting a member event from an event group does not delete the event definition for the individual event. The individual event remains in the Event Manager.
