I need to do a bit of housekeeping, how do I streamline events created to be grouped into features and how do I know the steps for each when it is called without relying on implementation from dev, how do I clean the mess from Mixpanel lexicons and other tools available
Hi B, Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so.

To streamline events and clean up your Mixpanel implementation, you can use several features and best practices. Here's how you can approach this: 1. Use Lexicon for data cleanup: Lexicon is Mixpanel's data dictionary that allows you to organize and manage your events and properties. You can use it to: - Drop events that are not being queried - Clean up display names - Add descriptions for events - Merge similar events Lexicon: Describe your events and data using a dictionary provides details on how to merge events and properties.2. Implement Custom Events: Custom Events allow you to combine multiple events into a single event, which can help streamline your analysis. You can create these in Lexicon as well. Custom Events: Combine multiple events for analyses explains how to create and manage Custom Events.3. Follow best practices for event naming and structure: - Keep events as actions - Use a consistent naming convention (e.g., snake_case) - Avoid creating event or property names dynamically - Use event properties to provide context instead of creating multiple similar events Events: Capture behaviors and actions offers detailed best practices for structuring your events.4. Establish a data governance framework: This involves designating an owner or team responsible for data quality, documenting standards and processes, and establishing review processes. Establish Data Governance provides guidance on setting up a data governance framework.5. Use Event Approval feature: If you're on the Enterprise Plan, you can enable Event Approval to review new events or properties before they're released for use. Event Approval explains how to set this up.6. Regularly audit your data: Use Lexicon to review event usage, volume, and query frequency. This can help you identify events that are no longer useful and can be dropped. Data Clean-Up provides tips on how to approach data auditing and cleanup.By implementing these practices and using Mixpanel's tools, you can streamline your events, improve data quality, and maintain a cleaner, more manageable Mixpanel implementation without relying heavily on development resources.
