    • Trigger the event on a test basis in the system, to check whether the workflow starts and runs correctly
    • Name the options for triggering events in the different applications
    • Use different methods to trigger events
    • Define additional start conditions for workflows
    • Explain the event queue
    • Use transaction SWU0 to check the event linkage

    • Create a workflow that calls the Customizing transaction or tables in a prescribed order
    • Use wizards that model missed deadlines
    • Call reports
    • Dynamically assign agents
