Official events and properties
Mark the events and properties your team trusts as official to show that they're vetted, authoritative, and safe to use in analyses. Official designations help analysts and product managers build charts on reliable data, and Amplitude's AI agents favor official events and properties when they answer questions. Tracking-plan owners and data governors manage these designations as part of taxonomy maintenance.
Use official designations for the events and properties in your tracking plan. To endorse reusable analysis objects like metrics, custom events, cohorts, and segments instead, use Object management.How official designations work
An official event or property is one a tracking-plan owner reviewed and endorsed as a source of truth. Marking an item official doesn't change the underlying data or how Amplitude ingests it. Instead, it adds a trust signal across Amplitude:
- Event and property selectors show an Official filter, so you can narrow long lists to endorsed items.
- Amplitude's AI agents weigh official events and properties more heavily when they choose data for an answer.
Mark an event or property as official
Changing an event or property's official status requires the Manage tracking plans permission. Members without it can view which items are official but can't change the designation.
- In Amplitude Data, go to Events or Properties.
- Click the event or property name to open its details panel.
- Click the Official control to mark the item official. Click it again to remove the designation.
To update several items at once, select them in the Events or Properties table, then set their official status from the menu at the top of the table.
Find official events and properties
- In a chart's event or property selector, apply the Official filter to choose only endorsed items.
- In Amplitude Data, filter the Events or Properties table by official status to review which items your team endorsed.
