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.
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 |
