Live View
Watch the following tutorial to see how to use Live View to test an event:
Use Live View to test an event

Out of the box, Live View shows you every raw user action performed on your site. After you create an event definition, the Live View will bold any matching events and display the name of the matching event definition:

You can view event properties for an event by clicking on the row. The properties panel will pop out from the right side, showing you any custom properties you added to the event as well as built-in properties that Freshpaint automatically collects.

If you want to filter the events in Live View, there are two ways to do so.

When you type in a search term, the Live View will be limited to those events that contain the search term somewhere within the event. You can use this in several different ways:
- You can limit to a specific event definition by typing in the name of the event.
- If you want to limit events to those triggered by a specific user, you can enter the identity of the user.
The other way of filtering Live View is with event filters.

If you are testing events and want to filter for just your events, you can filter by your Device ID - which can be found as a cookie value called
ajs_anonymous_id
You can use the event filters to filter an event the same way you would filter an event definition. See the documentation on using filters in the event schema dashboard to see what exactly you can do with filters:
You can also create new events through Live View. If you perform an action that does not have an associated event definition, it will show up as a raw event in Live View. You can then create an event definition based on the raw event by clicking the Create Event button to the right of the Live View entry. This will take you to the event schema dashboard with an event definition prepopulated based on the raw event.
