Where do I view event parameters with Facebook Analytics App Events?

Question

I'm using Facebook analytics in my Android app to log app events - I'm seeing the correct tracking of app events and am able to view them in my Facebook App Analytics dashboard.

However, I have no idea where parameters that I attach to each event are displayed. Some of them are automatically summed and shown - for instance, purchases or other values. For other, string-based parameters, however, I'm unable to figure out where I can view them.

As an example:

Say every time something goes wrong in my app, I log an event named "Error". I then pass the parameter named AppEventsConstants.EVENT_PARAM_DESCRIPTION a string description - so this might be "App Crashed" or "No Internet Connection" or something. Let's say one of each happens.

When I go to view my analytics, I will correctly see that there have been two "Error" events. But now I want to know whether these were instances of "App Crashed" or "No Internet Connection" - presumably that's what the point of the parameters is. How do I do this? I've googled and clicked everything I can think of, but haven't found a way to see the parameter breakdown of an event.

I can confirm that it is troublesome to find and the name has been changed to "Breakdowns"...

• Activity -> Breakdowns
• click "Create New" in upper right
• give the report a NAME
• select the top level event from the EVENT pop-up
• select one or more parameters to report on from the 3 BREAKDOWN pop-ups (note that your custom parameters appear at the bottom of these menus)
