# User clicked

Learn how to track when a user clicks or taps on the screen.

This event tracks when a user interacts with the screen. Here, "click" is a general term that covers any pointing interaction, whether it's a mouse click, a tap on a touchscreen, or a press with a digital pen.

To avoid flooding with rapid clicks, only one event is recorded per 500ms interval.

> The SDK automatically tracks this event when a user clicks or taps on the screen.

## Input properties

This event has no input properties.

## Processed properties

These properties are automatically tracked:

- `point`: `object`

  The absolute click coordinates, in pixels, relative to the top-left corner of the surface.

  - `x`: `number`

    The horizontal position of the click, in pixels.

  - `y`: `number`

    The vertical position of the click, in pixels.

- `surfaceSize`: `object` (optional)

  The total dimensions of the interactive surface, in pixels.

  This represents the entire area where interactions can occur, not just the visible portion. For example, on a web page, this would be the full document size, including content below the fold. In a mobile app, it would be the entire scrollable screen area.

  - `width`: `number`

    The total width of the surface, in pixels.

  - `height`: `number`

    The total height of the surface, in pixels.
