Launching Projects on Class Events

You can launch (chain) projects when certain events occur that are relevant to classes. Using these properties, you can model a progression of states in your processes.

The following properties of classes allow you to launch jobs when certain events occur:
Start on purge
This property launches the specified project when any job in the class is purged (that is, whenever the system starts a purge job for a job with this class). You can use this property to make sure some specific files are deleted which are not automatically deleted along with the purge.
Start on entry
This property launches the specified project when a job's class property is changed to this class. You can use this property to tie a process to the reclassification of a job; for example, you could create a Test class, and launch some standard tests when a job is promoted to the Test class.
Start on exit
This property launches the specified project when a job's class property is changed from this class to another class.

These properties launch projects as chains.
