Note. The term PeopleCode type continuously used, but it doesn't fit into the PeopleTools object-based. The term PeopleCode events should now be used henceforth. However, it’s often easy to qualify a category of PC programs triggered by a particular event with the event name; for eg, PC programs associated with the RowInit events are together referred to as RowInit PC.
Activate Event
The Activate event is initiated whenever that a page is activated, including when a page
is first displayed by a user, or if a user presses Tab between different pages during a
component. Each page has its own Activate event.
The Activate event segregates PeopleCode that's associated with a particular page from the remainder
of the application’s PeopleCode. Place PeopleCode associated with page display or page
processing, like enabling a field or hiding a scroll area, during this event. Also, you can
use this event for security validation: if a user doesn't have clearance to look at a page
in a component, you'd put the code for hiding the page during this event.
