Unica Discover Event Manager Manual
Getting Started with Discover Events
Discover events provide the mechanisms for monitoring mission-critical metrics and other indicators of your web application's performance, including software errors, failures to complete transactions, customer struggles, and more. Through Discover events, IT staff, business managers, and executives can keep tabs on critical aspects of the overall customer experience.
Discover Data Model
Discover Report Builder uses a dimensional data model that is populated by event-based mechanisms to deliver a reporting facility of unprecedented power and flexibility to manage the customer experience of your web application. Events and event-related mechanisms are developed and tested through the Discover Event Manager, which is integrated into the Discover Portal.
Thinking about Events
Before you begin building events, you must spend some time to consider how events can be used to model the business processes reflected in your web application. There are several up-front considerations in how to build events to manage important categories of information about your web application.
UI Capture tracking
If you are using the UI Capture solution to track events in the client interface, you can create events to capture and record these actions for reporting. Since the data that is submitted to Discover from the client interface is different from the data that is submitted through standard browser capture, you might be required to create special events for these actions and, if desired, other events to normalize them to your standard reporting data.

When creating events from UI Capture data, verify that your events are configured to match on the Last Match Per Hit value.
The value of these events can be used to populate dimensions.
Particularly for form fields, UI Capture can be instrumental in identifying areas of customer struggle, allowing you to redesign the sequence of fields or remove unused or confusing fields.
