6}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
