This help center article is part of the App + Web Property Beta.
The following events are recommended for all properties (all business verticals, app or web). To learn how to implement these events, refer to the developer documentation.
When your site or app has features or behavior that correspond to Analytics events, you benefit from logging the events detailed here, as well as events for retail and ecommerce, travel, or games. Logging events along with their prescribed parameters ensures maximum available detail in reports and lets you benefit from the latest Analytics features and integrations as they become available.
