The Un/Ignore Event action allows you to mark an Orchestrator event to be either ignored or unignored for the remainder of a process instance’s lifecycle. This action is particularly useful for dynamically managing event-driven workflows, enabling or disabling specific events as needed.

Key Features

• Enables dynamic control over event handling within a process instance.
• Supports toggling between ignoring and unignoring events.

Configuring an Un/Ignore Event Action

When adding an Un/Ignore Event action, the following fields must be configured:

1. Common Properties

• Label:
  • A user-friendly name for the action, displayed in the process flow.
  • Required field.
• Name:
  • A unique identifier for the action, used internally.
  • Required field.

2. Inputs

The inputs section defines the parameters required to manage the event. The following fields are available:

Required Fields

1. Event:

   • Specifies the name or identifier of the event to be ignored or unignored.
   • Example: DocumentApproved, InvoiceGenerated.

2. Unignore Toggle:

   • A switch to determine the behavior of the action:
     • Active: The event will be unignored, meaning it will be processed.
     • Inactive: The event will be ignored, meaning it will not be processed.

3. Outputs

• This action does not typically produce outputs directly, but it updates the event handling logic for the process instance.

Usage Example

Scenario: Temporarily Disabling an Event

1. Event: UserApprovalReceived
2. Unignore Toggle: Inactive (the event will be ignored).

Steps:

1. Add an Un/Ignore Event action to the process.
2. Fill in the Label and Name fields.
3. Specify the Event name (UserApprovalReceived).
4. Set the Unignore Toggle to Inactive to ignore the event.
5. Save the configuration and test the process.

Best Practices

• Use descriptive event names to maintain clarity in complex processes.
• Toggle events dynamically only when necessary to avoid unintended behavior.
• Test the action to ensure the correct event behavior in different scenarios.
