# Set Up User-defined Properties

Specify properties for Custom Events to provide more detail in the Revenue dashboard.

If you are using [Custom Event](https://www.airship.com/docs/reference/glossary/#custom_event) properties, you can further break down Revenue report results by property. Our SDKs contain [custom event templates](https://www.airship.com/docs/sdk-topics/custom-events/) that  make sending properties easier to manage and analyze.

1. Go to *Reports » Performance Analytics*.
1. Select the *Revenue* dashboard.
1. For the *Custom Events Table* report, click 
 and select
   *Explore From Here*. This table gives you a starting point for all the custom events that
   happened during the specified time range. In the left side menu, in
   *Custom Event Properties » Dimensions* you can see the properties used in
   this tutorial:
   ![Custom Event Properties dimensions and filters](https://www.airship.com/docs/images/custom-events-tutorial-1_hu_9566a4c7f440d153.webp)
   
   *Custom Event Properties dimensions and filters*
   * Three *User-Defined Property* filters
   * The *Raw Properties* dimension
   * Three *User-Defined Property* dimensions

Once you know the keys for the properties you would like to expand on,
either select the templated name from the Custom Event Names in the
Visualization or Data results, or set up a user-defined property. The
remaining steps walk you through setting up a user-defined property. You
may specify up to three total.
