Currently, in Baidu Analytics' Reporting platform, for Tracked Events, such as Clicks on file download, mailto or outbound links, the category of the event and the label would be displayed in different tabs.
We could have imagined the category of tracked events to be displayed in a table, on the same page as the labels, but it doesn't seem to be the case currently and tracked labels/messages and categories are displayed on separate pages, which doesn't necessarily seem practical at all, given that we would have to switch between a tab and another to check what each tracked message could be.
Maybe a simple and appropriate solution for the moment, would be to add tracked event's category in the label/message to be displayed in Baidu Analytics' backend.
In this case records for links tracked would then display in Baidu Analytics as for example:
Mails: example@example.com
Outbound links: http://www.example.com
Downloads Link: example.zip.
still with each corresponding category: Mails, Outbound links and Downloads respectively.
This way, when checking tracked labels for the email addresses, downloaded files or clicked outbound links, it would be possible to quickly find out to which category it could correspond.
