Events are defined and managed from the upper Event List area of the Events window. This area includes the scrollable Event List
at the left, plus the Triggers and Actions sections to its right. The lists and commands available in these sections create a powerful,
user-programmable environment.
Events
An event consists of one or more triggers, which in turn cause
one or more actions to occur. Up to 999 events can be created.
Each event can have between 0 and 8 triggers, and each event
can have between 0 and 8 actions.

ally by clicking the green Enable indicator to toggle its status.
