  3. We enter the Event Trigger to listen to
  4. We choose Reload as the action to run on this listener
  5. We provide the action parameters, for the Reload action we need to provide the alias of the page to call and get the new content from.

We then need to add another page to the form and change the Page Alias and the Page Group in the Page Options in order for the reload to work:

  1. Page Alias is changed to "new_content" to match the alias we used in the Reload Listener
  2. Page Group is changed to something unique in this form, this is necessary in order for this page to be accessible directly by the Reload AJAX call.
