# Event Registry

Event Registry is a list of all the events that were configured in your tenant for your OE value stream. The events are the triggers that initiate the processes and make them run.

Events are utilized by the `ce-type` attribute, which indicates that the event has occurred. By aligning the **Event Name** (eg. `order.created`) configured in OE with the `ce-type` name, you ensure that a value stream accurately receives and processes the event information.

Event Registry lists all the events related to Commerce Engine. The events reflect the actions and processes happening in the Commerce Engine system, which you can use as triggers for the value stream without the need to configure them manually. The pre-configured commerce events facilitate digitalizing the commerce-related workflow processes.

To create a new event:

1. In **OE**, go to **Events** -> **Event Registry**.
2. Choose **Create New Event**.
3. Specify the **Display** and **Event** names.

**Display name** - it's the name that is visible in the UI when you create a value stream, for example: **Order Created**.

**Event name** - it's the name of the registered event, for example: `emporix/ce/order.created`.
