Does it take 24 hours for custom events to be recorded in Parse Analytics

Question

I'm new to Parse and I've just tried adding a basic event with data like so:

NSDictionary *dimensions = @{
                             // What type of news is this?
                             @"category": @"politics",
                             // Is it a weekday or the weekend?
                             @"dayType": @"weekday",
                             };

[PFAnalytics trackEvent:@"read" dimensions:dimensions];

From the dashboard I can see the API Request event recorded but I can't seem to access the specific event or data. Does it take 24 hours to register or am I using the dashboard incorrectly?

Answer 1

Ok, I think I've found the issue. You won't see it in the Dashboard unless you click on "Custom Breakdown" and then select from the options to visualize your custom event, then use the filters to see the dimensions for "category" and "dayType" from the Filters inside of it.

If you want to keep this report for future use then click "Save Breakdown" and you can always come back to it (although you can't edit the filters) I hope this helps.
