Tip

- When you add an event to a page or page element, an asterisk (\*) appears beside the event in the Events pane.
- If you hover over ![The Events icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_event_page.png) on a selected page element, a tooltip appears indicating which events are associated with the element. You can also click the icon to quickly open the Events tab.

1. Select the relevant page or page element.
2. Select an event in the Events pane (![Events](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_events.png)). See [Available Events and Actions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_events_available.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Choose from several event triggers and actions when you create an event.").
3. Click ![Add](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_add.png) and select an action in the Choose an Action list that appears.
4. Set the other available properties for the action, such as:
    - Target Element—specifies the page element that the action affects
    - Effect—specifies how the action is animated, such as fade or slide.
    - Speed—sets the speed of the animation to fast, normal, slow, or very slow
    - Chained—allows you to chain actions so they occur sequentially. For example, to create a Delay action that delays the action that _follows_ it, select the Delay action's **Chained** checkbox. This indents the subsequent action underneath the Delay action, indicating that it's tied to the Delay action. Applies to the Animate, Delay, Hide Element, Repeat, Show Element, and Toggle Element actions.
5. Click **Save**.
6. Add more actions if necessary.

To delete an action, select it and click ![Delete](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_delete.png).

To change the order in which an action occurs, select it and click ![Move up](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_moveup.png) or ![Move down](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_movedown.png).
