analytics.initialize(opts);

analytics.newEvent(data);

Data can contain any properties (with the exception of time) and they will be persisted. However there are some standard and compulsory properties

Compulsory properties

• eventName - e.g 'NewNoticeboardPost'

Standard properties

• object - the ID of the object the event is happening to (if applicable)
• objectType - a string type for the object. Recommended for grouping of objects (e.g. 'NoticeboardPost')
• user - the ID of the user who triggered the event (if applicable)
• container - the ID of the object's container (if applicable - e.g. the group a 'NoticeboardPost' belongs to)
• containerType - a string type for the container
