Managing system events involves creating, monitoring, and handling events to drive automation and streamline processes. Administrators and developers can define custom events, register them in the system, and set up actions or
work-flows that respond to these events. This functionality helps ensure efficient task execution, helps improve system monitoring, and enables more robust error handling for enhanced operational reliability.

## Overview of managing system events {#managing-system-events__cf-using-parent-workflow}

* [Create an event](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CrEmuloMZpLSFvgUl535rA "If you do not find a suitable existing event, you can create your own.")

  Create custom system events.
* [Move an event](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9HdGoVKl5VsWqJtt7wsTXQ "Accelerate the execution process by moving high priority events from the default queue to an isolated queue.")

  Accelerate the execution process by moving high priority events from the default queue to an isolated queue.
* [Pass event parameters from a work-flow to a notification](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/SX1CROL45OaRrWYoBv4u~A "Pass two event parameters that send information about a record or related records from a work-flow to a notification.")

  Pass two event parameters that send information about a record or related records from a work-flow to a notification.
* [Register an event](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8VvFPbXwvyft4ygQa7Gvmg "You can register an event for a specific table and a business rule that fires the event.")

  Register an event for a specific table and a business rule that fires the event.
* [Reprocess an event](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yQfis_iuXWwCfqyFUAdgfQ "You can fire the event again for testing or diagnostic purposes.")
