Creating an event for department information
From Web Studio, select Portlet from the Build menu in the left pane, and select Approved under Portlet Manager.
From the list of approved portlets that displays in the detail pane, right-click SSCA Master and select Define Events.
The Define ClickAcross Events window appears showing a grid with two columns – Dept Name and Dept Head.
Click Select to the left of the grid, then click Next.
The Assign and Edit Events window appears, which displays the grid rows and columns, along with options to define events on one or more of the grid cells.

Row – enter all.

Event Name – enter Dept
Name. This event name is used as the parameter
name by the target portlet, in this case SSCA Department.
With – select “cell value (this cell)” from the drop-down list to indicate that the value associated with the event will be extracted from the cell itself.
Multi-value – leave unselected.
Client-side - make sure the option is unselected to indicate the event is a server-side event. This option acts like a toggle. When the option is selected, it indicates a client-side event; when the option is not selected, it indicates a server-side event.
For Web Studio, you always define a server-side event,
so the option should not be selected.
Click Find Portlet to open the Search window, and click Search.
In the Results pane, select the SSCA Department portlet and click Add. This forms the event association between the SSCA Master portlet and the SSCA Department portlet.

Row – enter all.
Column – enter 2 to
indicate only column 2 (Dept Head) is included.
Event Name – enter Emp
Name. This event name is used as the parameter
name by the target portlet, in this case SSCA Employee.
