An event describes a user interaction in your app, such as tapping a registration button, adding an item to a cart, or completing a payment. Each event records what the user did, when, and where in the app.
Custom event analysis performs real-time, multi-dimensional analysis of user events captured through client-side data tracking. Before you begin, configure event metadata to associate the metrics you want to analyze.
