Data Dictionary
The Data Dictionary provides a complete and real-time view of the data schema for your workspace. It automatically discovers and lists all the User Events and Profile Properties you send to UserFlux, helping you maintain data consistency and easily find the information you need when building automations and segments.
This guide explains how to navigate the Data Dictionary and understand the structure of your data.
Navigating to the Data Dictionary
You can access the Data Dictionary from your main organisational settings.
In the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on the Organisation icon (four squares).
From the settings menu, select Data Dictionary.
You will now see the main Data Dictionary screen, which is divided into two primary sections: User Events and Profile Properties.
Exploring Your Data Schema
The Data Dictionary automatically categorises your data, making it easy to inspect.
User Events
This section lists every unique event that has been tracked in your workspace. For each event, you can see:
Event Name: The name of the event (e.g., page_view, user_onboarding_completed).
Properties Count: The number of data points (properties) associated with that event.
Occurrences: The total number of times the event has been recorded.
To inspect the specific properties of an event, simply click on it. This will expand the entry to show a list of all its associated properties and their detected data types (e.g., String, Number, Array, Boolean).
Profile Properties
This section lists all properties that have been associated with your user profiles. Similar to events, you can see the property name and its data type. This is useful for verifying that you are sending user attributes with the correct format.
Updating Your Schema
UserFlux automatically discovers your schema over time. However, if you have recently started sending new events or properties and do not see them listed, you can manually trigger a rediscovery.
Navigate to the Data Dictionary.
At the top right of either the User Events or Profile Properties section, click the Sync icon.
A notification will appear stating "Schema discovery running". The process will run in the background and the dictionary will be updated shortly with any newly found data points.
