What do you mean by form insert event ? For data source have event for write method. There is no insert event for form.

So if you want to do something in insert method , use eventievent handler for insert method. Event for insert and update method are different.

The OnInsert event is triggered when a record is being inserted to a table.

I don't understand the second sentence at all. Please try to rephrase is and try to use complete words (e.g. "pl" probably means "please"; I have no idea what is "nd").

As the name of method suggests onInserting or OnInserted event handlers you are going to use if you want to do something while inserting record. Similarly during update you are going to use event handler present for update method.

An example of inserting event handler would be assigning some constant value to the field (this is just an example , there are better places to initialize fields other than insert method) . Implement these event handler and use debugger while creating record then you will understand when and how to use those.

You can use a handler for onInserting/onInserted events when you want to execute some logic when a new record is being inserted.

You can use a handler for onUpdating/onUpdated events when you want to execute some logic when an existing record is being updated.
