Event and property descriptions

This article helps you:

Learn how to quickly add descriptions to events or properties

You can change the description for an event or property to help other members of your organization understand what an event or property represents.

Note

This only applies to active events and properties that are included in your tracking plan. It also doesn't apply to custom events.

Add a description to an event

To add a description to an event, follow these steps:

Go to *Events,*and click on the name of the event you're looking to add a description to.
In the fly-out that appears, click Add a description under Details.
Type in a description of the event and click Apply.

Add a description to an event property

You can change the description for an event property in two different ways. Since the same event property can apply to multiple event types, you have the option to add a description for the global event property as well as for the specific event to event property pair. If the event property description that is specific to an event does not exist, then the description will default to the global event property description.

To change the description for an event property specific to an event, navigate to Events and click on the event name to open the Details panel. Then type a description where it says Add a description, and click Apply to save.
To change the global description for an event property, navigate to Properties > Event Properties and click on the event property name to open the Details panel. Then type a description where it says Add a description, and click Apply to save.

Add a description to a user or group property

You can change the description for a user property or a group property by navigating to Properties > User Properties or Properties > Group Properties. Click on the property name to open the Details panel. Then type a description where it says Add a description, and click Apply to save.
