Synchronize Robot
Use the Synchronize robot node 
to synchronize the start of an activity or process node with custom events. For example, you can set the robot to start an activity node when certain generic external or Windchill-keyed events occur.

General Tab
Use the General tab to specify the basic attributes of the robot:
Name | Enter a unique name to identify the robot. |
Category | Select a category to assign the robot. There are several predefined Windchill categories, which are enumerated types. They are defined in wt.workflow.definer.WfTemplateCategory. New categories can be added to this file as needed. |
Responsible Role | The user who is responsible for the completion of this robot. This user receives any error notifications. |
Description | Provide a brief description for the robot. |
Synchronize Tab
Use the Synchronize tab to specify the events that will cause the synchronized process or activity node to start.
Select one of the following Synchronize On options:
• Expression to synchronize the start of an activity or process with another event within the workflow process.
• Class Event to synchronize the start of an activity or process with a Windchill-keyed class event.
• Object Event to synchronize the start of an activity or process with a Windchill-keyed object event.
Of the three synchronization robot types, object-based synchronization is the most scalable .
