Data Catalog

Build a data catalog by creating events and properties for tracking plans.

RudderStack’s Data Catalog feature lets you create the events and properties for configuring tracking plans. You can also define all the necessary details for your events and properties like name, type, description, category, etc.

Once created, you can select the required events and associate them with properties while creating a tracking plan.
