Detailed Technical Description

If the

`{virtualPositionRef}`

event attribute value is not null and empty in the incoming event the rule will produce an inline event with

`{eventName}`

. It does not query the GraphQL API to check the virtual position, and only checks the presence of the

`{virtualPositionRef}`

event attribute value. When it generates the new event,

```
`{virtualPositionType}`
```
event attribute value is used as the subtype of the newly generated event
```
`{virtualPositionRef}`
```
value is used as the entity ref of the newly generated event
