# Group Default and Custom events

Event grouping enables you to group two or more events together into a single grouped event. An analysis of a combination of events helps you understand end-user behavior on the application.

Group both [Default Events](/product-analytics/docs/list-of-default-events) (Whatfix-related events) and [Custom Events](/product-analytics/docs/list-of-default-events) (User Actions and events captured using API) to analyze certain metrics that require data of users interacting with any of the event types without any chart visualization.

The events are grouped together with an OR condition, which means that it shows the total number of users who performed any of the events added as part of a group in the last 30 days.

**Use Cases**

- Consider that you want to understand the engagement across different features in the application. End users can take multiple entry points to use a particular feature and you want to understand the engagement for each feature. Track each feature using User Actions. In Trend Insights, each feature is tracked separately, but you might want to analyze a group of features (User Actions) together. Use Event groups to achieve this.
- Consider that you want to measure the effectiveness of Self Help and filter it by country. Create an Event group with the following events: Flow started, Article viewed, and Video link started from Self Help, and filter them by country. Add this to Trend Insights to visualize using charts and add the Insights to [Dashboards](/product-analytics/docs/create-dashboards) for reporting.
