* A dialog box should open up, containing fields for the date of the event, the category under which it falls, and a more detailed description of the nature of the event. If you are unsure what category the event falls under, you can consult the info bubbles located on the right side of the dropdown options for the *Category* field for more details. Or you can create a new category by clicking the "+" button next the *Category* field to open a new dialog box, providing a name, and clicking the "Apply" button.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://compassly.gitbook.io/compassly-docs/core-modules/clients/programs/add-custom-event-to-program-graph.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
