DataFinder provides you with the "virtual event" function. You can combine multiple general events in DataFinder into virtual events through certain logical relationships, and then perform user behavior analysis through virtual events, which is convenient for you to manage and view the combination of conventional composite events.

The current common scenario is: I want to see the number of deduplicate users who have experienced event A or event B. For example, the number of deduplicated users who viewed page A or page B.
At this point, a virtual event is required: it indicates that either event A or event B occurs.

Go to the virtual event list page #

After logging in and entering the DataFinder console, click Data Management > Metadata Management > Virtual Events in the top navigation bar to enter the Virtual Events List page.

• When clicking to enter the "Virtual Events" page, a list of all created virtual events is displayed by default;
• The list can be filtered by "event name", "event description", and "creator", and the event name and description support fuzzy filtering;

Create a virtual event #

1. Click New Virtual Event in the upper right corner of the page.

2. In the pop-up Create Virtual Event page, fill in the corresponding information.
   

   Parameter	Configuration instructions
   Virtual Event Name & Presentation Name	Customize the name and display name of the virtual event to identify the virtual event, which is easy to find and use when using the virtual event later.
   Label	Select the label associated with the binding event. For a detailed description of labels, see Efficiency Improvement Function: Event Tag(Label).
   Combined General Events	Select the general events to be combined for the virtual event to be created. You can select the corresponding general events based on actual business analysis needs, and support the configuration of filter filters for each selected event. The relationship between the selected multiple general events is or, that is, any hit to a general event indicates that the conditions are met, and the virtual event will be triggered. Support click to add events in batches and add multiple events at the same time.
   Visible range	Configure whether the visibility of virtual events created is visible only to yourself or to everyone. tip The default setting for existing created virtual events is "Everyone", and the creator or administrator can modify the configuration of the visible scope.

Using virtual events #

After the virtual event is created, you can use the virtual event for user behavior analysis.

• Event selection for event analysis, retention analysis, conversion analysis pages.
• When selecting an event, you can see the type of event and select the virtual event that has been created. Take event analysis as an example:
