Manage Events - Events Tab
Through the Events tab in the Discover Event Manager, you can define, edit, test, and organize events to monitor specific conditions in your visitors' sessions. Discover events provide a flexible and powerful mechanism for tracking at the most granular level what is happening during a visitor's session.
Eventing for Usability
HCL Discover Usability enables the capture of usability information from the visitor's web experience, as detected in the client and transmitted to Discover. This information is anonymously collected for reporting purposes. Events can be used to specify specific conditions, such as a period of time, to record information.
Usability Events
Usability events require dimensional data in order for them to properly function. The following events are provided by Discover for HCL Discover Usability, and associated with each of these events is a set of pre-configured dimensions.
Primary Reporting Events

    - Purging Event Data
      If needed, you can purge data for a selected event and all related report groups and dimensions. Suppose when you are configuring events, you discover that you captured inaccurate or bad data for the event. You can purge the data for a selected event and all recorded dimensional data that is related to the event.

      - Usability Data
        HCL Discover Usability data is submitted from the HCL Discover UI Capture J2 solution.
      - Usability Step Attributes
        To facilitate the tracking of usability data that is submitted from UI Capture, Discover provides a set of step attributes to track this information.
      - Usability Events
        Usability events require dimensional data in order for them to properly function. The following events are provided by Discover for HCL Discover Usability, and associated with each of these events is a set of pre-configured dimensions.
        Primary Reporting Events
        Usability attention map view time, usability click, and usability form field visit are the primary events that are used for the reporting of HCL Discover Usability data.
        Building Block Events
        A "building block" event is available in the Short Term Canister while the session is being captured. The event expires when the session is closed and moved to the Long Term Canister. Building block events cannot be used in search or reporting.
      - Usability Dimensions
        To capture HCL Discover Usability data for reporting purposes, Discover provides a set of dimensions, which are used to store client usability data.
      - Usability Report Groups
        HCL Discover Usability provides a set of report groups that contain the provided HCL Discover Usability dimensions. These report groups are predefined to contain only the dimensions that are required for HCL Discover Usability.
      - Usability Report Group Templates
        For HCL Discover, the base report group template is Standard. This report group template supports up to four dimensions of your choosing.
      - Tracking Other Usability Events
    - Mobile Events
      Discover provides a set of Mobile events to support the tracking of user interface events that are captured through a Discover client framework. These objects can be used as the basis for building other event objects for tracking the specifics of your client application.
    - Goal Based Dimensions
      By default, Discover events and event-related objects, such as dimensions, are recorded as soon as they occur. This immediate responsiveness ensures that event activity and contextual data are captured as a snapshot of the current state of the session or application.
    - Discover Standard Event Object Reference
  - Manage Events - Hit Attributes Tab
    When processing hit data, the Discover event engine searches each hit for patterns of text. These patterns can signify an event of interest, such as the occurrence of the word Sorry in the response, or can bracket a text string of interest, such as the value of a form field. These patterns can be explicitly specified or can be defined using the start and end tags for which an event should look when evaluating a condition or setting a value.
  - Manage Events - Dimensions Tab
    Through the Discover Event Manager, you can specify data dimensions to track metadata associated with an event. They can be considered the contextual data captured at the moment of event execution.
  - Manage Events - Session Attributes Tab
    A session attribute is a pre-defined variable that is persistent throughout the life of a Discover session. Session attributes may be used to store various data that may be referenced by events at any point during the session.
  - Manage Events - Alerts Tab
    Through the Discover Event Manager, you can define alerts that are triggered based on Discover events or Anomaly Detections. When threshold values are detected in the related event or Anomaly Detection, an alert is generated and delivered in the appropriate format to the designated recipients.
  - Manage Events - Anomaly Detection Tab
    Through the Discover Event Manager, you can indicate the events, dimensions, and ratios whose variations you wish to track over time. Through the Anomaly Detection tab, you can track the metrics that are major anomaly detections on your site.
  - Manage Events - Import-Export Tabs
    Through the Import and Export tabs, you can export a set of selected event definitions and all supporting data objects from your current system and import a set that has been exported. Import/export controls enable the easy migration of event definitions from a development environment to testing and staging environments.
  - Optimizing Discover Configuration
    You can optimize Discover configurations by performing the following steps
  - Event Tester
    Integrated into the Discover Event Manager, the Event Tester enables you to test active events and hit attributes, even if they are saved in draft mode, against sessions that you upload to the server. This integrated tool provides a quick method for validating the event objects you define before you deploy them into the live transaction stream.
  - Advanced Mode for Events
    In Advanced Mode, you can review and modify the actual JavaScript™ function that is called to process the event.
  - Event Administration
    The section provides an overview of how events are initially installed and stored in the database and later updated based on changes in the Discover Event Manager.

Administration
Administering HCL Discover involves configuring and integrating the HCL Discover client framework with your web applications or mobile native applications, installing and administering the databases used by HCL Discover, defining event objects and configuring events, hit attributes, dimensions, and other object attributes used by HCL Discover to monitor mission-critical metrics of your web application's performance.
