• Key Concepts: 
  Client Eventing is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Portal Knowledge Management and Collaboration (EP-KM) component. It allows users to subscribe to events that are triggered by changes in the system, such as when a document is created or updated. This allows users to be notified of changes in real-time, without having to manually check for updates.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Client Eventing, users must first subscribe to an event. This can be done by selecting the “Subscribe” option from the EP-KM menu. Once subscribed, users will receive notifications whenever the event is triggered. The notifications can be viewed in the “Notifications” tab of the EP-KM menu.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that Client Eventing only works with certain types of events. For example, it cannot be used to track changes in user profiles or other system settings. Additionally, it is important to remember that Client Eventing only works with events that are triggered by changes in the system, not manual actions taken by users.
