Changes to Events

Events are now defined through the Discover Event Manager in the Discover Portal.

  • See "Manage Events - Events Tab" in the Unica Discover Event Manager Manual.

The definition of events are as follows:

  • Event categories, such as compound session close events and compound page events, have been largely eliminated, in favor of a simpler model that evaluates events that are simply based on where they occur in the session. Events can be organized into event labels, but a label is an organizational structure only.
  • Compound events can be created simply by using the outputs of one or more events as inputs to another event. Outputs of page-level events can be mapped to the inputs of page-level or session-level events.
  • Event hierarchies have changed. Hierarchies are essentially dependencies between events and are not explicit parent-child relationships. Hierarchies can no longer be necessary because of the potential for multiple triggers for an event.
