Event handlers

Through the use of event handlers you can trigger an action to run either automatically or due to user interaction. Automatic events occur when an app is in use, such as when an app or view is loaded, or a timer. User interaction events can include clicking a UI component, updating a value in a data input component, or running a keyboard shortcut.
