Qualifying Events
Using Qualifying Events
Qualifying events are used to simulate exposures for power analysis, and to filter exposures to users who triggered a specific event. Setting up a Qualifying Event is identical to setting up an Assignment Source, except they do not require experimental information.
info
Please note that the qualifying event must occur after the exposure as indicated by their respective timestamps.
Context columns can be used to filter the qualifying event for power analysis - for example you might have a Qualifying Event for page load, and filter to different page identifiers for power analyses of experiments on different surfaces.
Example Data
| Column Type | Description | Format/Rules |
|---|---|---|
| timestamp | Required an identifier of when the qualifying event occurred | Castable to Timestamp/Date |
| unit identifier | Required At least one entity to which this metric belongs | Generally a user ID or similar |
| additional identifiers | Optional Entity identifiers for reuse across identifier types | |
| context columns | Optional Fields which can be used to group by and filter results in exploratory queries |
For example, you could pull from page load event logging directly:
| timestamp | user_id | company_id | page_route |
