What is the term for the subject of a business process event?

In Workday business process terminology, the subject of a business process event is the Target. The target is the person, position, organization, or object that the business process is acting on. For example, in a Hire event, the target is the worker being hired; in a Change Job event, the target is the worker whose job is being changed; and in an organization event, the target may be the organization being updated. The Initiator is the user or process that starts the event, so it describes who launched the process rather than what the process is about. Instance is a general Workday object occurrence and does not specifically identify the subject of a business process event. Primary Business Object refers to the underlying object type associated with a business process definition or template, but it is not the transactional subject term used in routing and event context. Understanding target is important because business process routing, security, notifications, and condition rules often evaluate fields relative to the target. Therefore, Target is the correct answer.
