The function receives one argument that usually is referred to as a scene. The scene is an object that has a lot of information about the context where the event happened. From the object you will have access to vars, another object where we can find the series and the categories where the click happened.

function(scene) {
    var series =  "Series:"+scene.atoms.series.label;
    var category =  "Category:"+scene.vars.category.label;
    var value = "Value:"+scene.vars.value.label;
