Adding a process step extension
You can add process step extensions (these can also be third-party components or plug-ins) to be executed by automatically upon certain events. This is useful if you want to individually adjust specific behaviors of XBOUND components. Examples:
Before processing begins (BeforeStartProcessing event)
After a document is checked out (AfterCheckout)
Before a document is checked in (BeforeCheckin)
After a document is checked in (AfterCheckin)
Before a document is deleted (BeforeDelete)
Process step extensions can be used to modify documents if the document is writable. If errors occur, documents are checked in with an error status. See Customizing XBOUND using the API for more information.
