Event and property descriptions
You can change the description for an event or property to help other members of your organization understand what an event or property represents.
This only applies to active events and properties 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 the name of the event you want to add a description to.
- In the flyout that appears, click Add a description (under Details).
- Type 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 ways. Because the same event property can apply to multiple event types, you can add a description for the global event property and for the specific event-to-event property pair. If the event property description specific to an event doesn't exist, the description defaults to the global event property description.
- To change the description for an event property specific to an event, navigate to Events and click the event name to open the Details panel. 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 the event property name to open the Details panel. 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 the property name to open the Details panel. Type a description where it says Add a description, and click Apply to save.
