Publish Event Activity

Description

The Publish Event activity publishes a named event in a Geocortex viewer application like theGeocortex Viewer for HTML5.

Events provide a mechanism for one part of an application to notify other parts of the application that something has happened. Event publishers, like this activity, publish (or broadcast) that a specific event has occurred. The event has a name and optionally some data relevant to the event. Event subscribers are the parts of the application that subscribe to specific named events and then receive notifications when the event is published. Typically event subscribers will take some action in response to an event.

Publishing events may trigger asynchronous operations in the host application, but the Publish Event activity will always complete immediately.
