Configuration scenario - outdated events
An outdated event is an event that was previously active, capturing data, and recording it to the database, but it is no longer active in the system. For example, suppose you previously created an event to capture shopping cart values. But due to a change in the web application, these values are now calculated through a different method using a different event. To ensure continuity in reporting, you may want to disable the earlier event but retain it for reporting purposes, so that you can report these events side-by-side.
Outdated events can be configured using the following scenario:
| Setting | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Active |
false |
|
Searchable & Reportable |
true |
|
Display in Portal |
true |
Typically, a historical event is displayed in the Portal as long as search and reporting functions require access to the data. When the session is trimmed from the Canister, this setting can be disabled. |
Display in Session List |
false |
Historical events may cause unnecessary clutter to the session list. |
