Roberto runs a local news service, and he wants to segment his Analytics reporting to compare how the different sections of his news service are performing. He creates an event parameter called "section" with a value for each section of news: "local news," "business," "arts & culture," "sports," and "opinion." After Roberto tags his pages with his new "section" parameter, what should he create to represent this parameter in his GA4 property?

Roberto should create an event-scoped custom dimension. He should create a dimension instead of a metric because he's measuring the sections of his news service, which are text-based & answer the question "what." His dimension should be event-scoped instead of user-scoped because he's trying to measure information about an event, not about users. There is no such thing as "session-scoped" in GA4 properties.
