4.3.6 Event configuration
A number of internal and external (Event input option) triggers are available for use in initiating Events which will
then run job lists. Events can have up to two sources each, but can themselves be used as sources allowing a large
number of inputs to be used. Input sources can be logically combined, and can be inverted if required.
