This page is for application designers. It explains how to set up actions in response to an event, such as a user mouse-click.
Indraft. Layout component also needs updating
Often in an application, you want to trigger an action based on an event that occurs on the dashboard:
- the user presses the Enter key: OnEnter
- the user mouse-clicks somewhere: OnChange
- something in the layout changes: OnChange
- something in the layout blurs: OnBlur.
You configure an event handler on a specific layout component, and link it to a specific action or action-flow.
