Events settings: How To View and Create Events

Overview

The Events page summarizes events tracked within the platform. Events are recorded automatically, for functions like keyword additions, or can be entered manually.


Background and Resources

A companion to the Events feature is our Annotations feature. Whereas Events automatically records events in the platform according to the rules specified, Annotations allows you to place a time-stamped notation about anything you wish to record that appears in all relevant charts throughout seoClarity. Learn more about Annotations.

Events Features

The settings for the Events feature are found by clicking the Settings icon in the top nav (the gear icon) and selecting "Events" from the left nav bar.



Events Settings

There are no user settings for Events, but the Events Settings page does allow you to view all recorded events with certain filters, and to add Events of your own. NOTE: for events that are time-sensitive and that you'd like to see in any time-related charts throughout seoClarity, we suggest trying our new Annotations feature.
