Overview
The Send Orchestration Event action transitions multiple objects in different states or from different object types into another state. For example, when this action is added to the Audit object type, closing an audit object will also close all open issues at the same time because those issues are no longer applicable.
Once an event has been created, it can be added to other states in the same workflow or on other object types as a Consume Orchestration Event trigger. The object types this action can be added to is determined by the data definition selected when the action is created.
Before you can create this action on a workflow state, a transition and Consume Orchestration Event trigger must be created.
