Answer
In Segment, “unnamed or batched events” refers to Identify, Page, and Screen event types. These events do not have a specific event name because they are designed to update user state or record a page/screen view, rather than track a custom action. Only Track events require a unique event name. In the Segment UI, the “Unnamed or batched events” metric groups all Identify and Page/Screen events together for reporting purposes.
Additional Information
If you need to locate these events in your warehouse, look for records where the event type is identify, page, or screen.
