Configuration scenario - building block events

A building block event is an event that is used only within the Discover Canister for purposes of defining or populating other event objects. For example, you can use an event to populate a session attribute. Since the data is stored in the attribute, you may not want to store the data as an event, as well.

  • In the event list, building block events that were provided by Discover are identified by the [BB] addition to the event name.
  • Building block events allow you to track significant items in the session without incurring the recording costs of writing them to the session record.

To configure a building block event, apply the following configuration to the event definition:
