Custom Events

Custom Events may be created within PCR-360, however, support for these Events will be limited outside of Professional Services.  For specific questions, please send a message to your Account Manager. Any Errors encountered by the Custom Event, such as Error Details from an exterior API, will be added to the Error Log located at Admin > Error Log Explorer, as well as any related logs for Escalations.

The Events grid will store custom Event calls for PCR-360 to trigger Events in a particular instance of PCR-360. Using the 

Logic tab

The Logic tab is where the Custom Logic can be written and reviewed.

A User can quickly review the code written for the specific event with the
