Creating a Launcher

What is a Launcher?

Launchers take advantage of the existing event listener capabilities. This allows OGL to track user events such as clicks and key presses. We use these events to launch an OGL content item, and these OGL items are intended to inform users of new information, assist them in completing a task, or serve as a reminder of internal policies and procedures.

Important:

Launchers cannot read user data; they are only limited to identifying actions performed by the user on the application.
