Events Method

Event methods enable you to react to events that occur in the user interface of a page. This includes button clicks, changes, and updates to field values. You can register event listeners that are invoked when an event occurs.

Event Payload
When the callback method is invoked, an event payload is passed to it. The payload is a JavaScript object which contains a type field and data object.

// event_type contains the name of the event
var event_type = event.type;

// event_data is a JSON whose value depends on the type of event
var event_data = event.helper.getData();

Click Events
These events occur when an agent clicks a button or link. The helper method event.helper.getData() returns an empty JSON for most of these events.
