Kinetic Custom DataView Row Changed Event

NateS · July 31, 2024, 5:53pm

I created a custom event for my custom kinetic dashboard. The event looks at the native grid, and triggers each time the user chooses a new row. It works ok. See my post here.
Kinetic Grid Row Select Event - Kinetic ERP - Epicor User Help Forum (epiusers.help)

However, I forgot to name my event, and it saved with the name “NewEvent”. You can’t change event names after they are created. So I left it alone. Coming back a few days later and I have lots of server side errors that I can’t catch. I see that in my events Kinetic has created a new event (maybe at the same time I did?). The event it created is UD_OpenJobInventory_0_0_RowChanged. If I open this event and close it (without making any changes), it asks if I want to save the changes. No, I don’t. What is going on here? Why did it add an event that seemingly overrides my event? Do I need to start all over again, and make sure to name my event that name above so the system can’t make its own event?

The event I created:

The event Kinetic added:

Whatever is going on here, I relate it directly to this issue. Has anyone else dealt with event issues? What’s the deal?

The event names getting locked after the first save is annoying.
Easiest way to re-name is to copy the event, name the copy the way you wanted it, and get rid of the original.

I have not seen Kinetic generate events without going through a wizard - and those are all editable, not locked like this.

You can override it by creating an event with trigger like
Type: Event
Hook: Override
Target: name of the offending event

Also haven’t noticed it ever creating new random events. What version is this? (So I can be on the look out).

Is this tied to an updateable BAQ DataView? I’ll admit, I’ve never made a dashboard with an updateable BAQ before. Wondering if there is some “wizard” magic going tied to creating those types of DataViews?
