Box event records have two fields: created_at and recorded_at.  These are not documented in the Event object description, though they are shown in the sample output.  What is the precise definition of these two timestamps?  Which one should be used as the time that the event occurred?

   "created_at" is when the event occurred (when the user performed the action). "recorded_at" is when the event was stored in the Box database.

  Thank you .  Could the documentation be updated with these definitions?

   I updated the Event Object section of our API Reference docs with this information.
