Event Based Functions

Events are executed whenever a file in the database is changed.

All files containing teletext pages that are on air are automatically monitored. Whenever a file change occurs the teletext page is transferred to the Teletext Data Generator and also exported in HTML/WML format. If the file is deleted in the database then it is also deleted on the Teletext Data Generator and on the Webserver.

Any other file in the database can also be monitored. Whenever a file change occurs one of the following actions can be executed

Import the file into a teletext page
This is generally used when monitoring text files that are automatically received by FTP or E-mail
