Set events

Within the Events tab, it is possible to set events that will be used through Meiro Business Explorer (the basis for identity stitching, attribute calculation, displayed for each customer in the Customer Detail tab/ Timeline).

Full list of events will be visible in the Data tab/ Events tab.

The schema describes the way how event payload should be displayed in the user interface. It is possible to set multiple items that will be displayed.
