Events that SimplyE hears about from a distributor like Overdrive. This includes events from SimplyE, as well as the distributors' apps. There's a slight delay before we hear about the events.

Patron Identifier based events - This – This is wanted in order to measure on an event basis the type of activity individual users demonstrate so the library can better understand users needs for e vs physical media or other media types. This would mean counting event types by Patron ID but not the specific dimensions that could point to a specific reading history on a title basis. This data may need to go into a separate Analytics account or system given the individualized nature of the data capture.
Medium dimension - To – To filter events to a specific medium like epub or audiobook.
