Custom event report

The custom event report shows stats for events that you track additionally. Most popular events are button clicks, menu item clicks, social media clicks, form submissions, and page scrolls. But you can track any other type of event.

Before any data appears in this report, you need to set up a custom event tag. If you’re not familiar with it, read our guide for advanced, which shows you various types of custom event tracking.

In the custom event report, you’ll see three sections that relate to labels used in a custom event tag:

• Event categories: A type of an event set in a custom event tag. It relates to a category field. This field is mandatory.
• Event actions: An action set in a custom event tag. It relates to an action field. This field is mandatory.
• Event names: An action set in a custom event tag. It relates to a name field. This field is optional.
