Usage
Events are useful as a way to trigger Frames and the Resources within. Frames can have a Precondition that listens for a specific Event. Once this Event is emitted, the Frame’s Precondition will be satisfied, and the Resources within that Frame will begin their processing.
To create an Event Precondition for a Frame you can use the Event Link Shortcut at the bottom of the Resource. This will create a new child Frame with an Object Event Condition. You can then determine the settings so that the new Resource will only open when the precondition is satisfied.
About
