When an event occurs—say, when a user clicks an element on the page or when the page loads—you can specify what action (or series of actions) it should trigger. For example, when your home page loads, you could display a news bulletin popup that fades away after several seconds. Or when the user clicks a panel, you could expand the panel to reveal additional information or alter its style.

The Events pane lists many common actions that you can trigger when an event occurs. Using the options here, you can specify that:

When [this event] occurs, trigger [this action].
