Parse Analytics custom events do not appear

449 views Asked by At

I'm tracking custom events in Parse 1.7.2 in Swift with:

   let dimensions = ["category" : "politics"]     
   PFAnalytics.trackEventInBackground("Read", dimensions: dimensions, block: { (succeeded: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
    })

and I've also tried

   let dimensions = ["category" : "politics"]     
   PFAnalytics.trackEventInBackground("Read", dimensions: dimensions, block: nil)

But my custom events do not appear in Analytics > Events > Analytics Requests > Custom Breakdown. I've done this: Parse analytics custom event not registering and this: Parse analytics not tracking custom events and I've also read the Parse documentation and waited a few days to see if the data appears.

Parse does receive the data in Analytics > Explorer > Custom Events, but how can I see my custom events in the Events tab?

UPDATE

Finally found a solution!

To see your custom events in the Dashboard, you have to select "Custom Breakdown" in the "Events" section as shown in the image below:

The Custom Breakdown panel thereafter shows up where you can select your custom event and also turn on the dimensions you are interested in as shown below:

When you select your custom event and turn on the dimensions you are interested in, the analytics for your custom events is displayed and you have the option to save the breakdown for future use.
