The following table lists wizard events and describes how you can use them to customize the wizard.

Wizard Event	Description
beforeInitialize	Occurs before the FullscreenReportWizard.initialize/FullscreenDataSourceWizard.initialize method is called. Handle this event to customize the predefined settings for the wizard’s global state. For instance, you can change the default page settings, the default report type, etc.
afterInitialize	Occurs after the FullscreenReportWizard.initialize/FullscreenDataSourceWizard.initialize method is called. Handle this event to change the page count and/or sequence. For instance, you can remove a specific wizard page or register a new page.
beforePageInitialize	Occurs before the page’s initialize method is called. Handle this event to customize the page’s content and state. For instance, you can remove a specific element from the start page or remove a specific section from other pages.
afterPageInitialize	Occurs after the page’s initialize method is called. Handle this event to customize the page’s settings for display in the UI.
