Understanding the Screen View Event

Common scenarios:

  • What is ‘Screen View’ in Analytics and what mParticle event does it map to?
  • Where can I find my mParticle Screen View events in Analytics?

Analytics presents Screen View events a little differently than mParticle. You can consider an mParticle event with a ScreenView event type being translated into a Screen View event in Analytics.

In Analytics, all Screen Views event names are listed under the Screen View (event) > screen_name (event_property). To query for a specific Screen Views event in Analytics, you can select Screen View and add a groupby/filterwhere on the events’ screen_name event property.

You can refer to the example of what that might look like below (please note, the values will look different than what you see in your project).
