How It Works
A process is a server-side task that executes when a certain event occurs in your form. There are a
number of different process types that can be generated via the wizard (for example, running a PL/SQL
script, sending an e-mail, or calling a web service). You can even create processes to dynamically modify
session states in your application. Through the wizard, processes can also be tied to button items on
your form such that when a button is clicked on the form, the process would immediately execute.
Tip
Processes can also be initiated from client-side JavaScript events. By inspecting postback parameters,
different server-side processes can be made to execute.
