This topic describes how to create an event in the decision engine.
Background information
What is an event?
An event is created to define a business scenario that requires risk control. For example, you can create an event for risk control in account registration, marketing, or loan application.
You can create events to define various scenarios and configure a set of risk control policies for each event. Each event has a code. After you pass the code of an event to the decision engine, the decision engine routes a request to the policy set of the event for computing and returns the computing result.

In the left-side navigation pane, choose Decision Engine > Event Management.
