# UA Events
UA Events in Snowflake is the normalized set of views that outline the structure of [Coveo Analytics](https://docs.coveo.com/en/182/) data.
These views organize search, click, view, and custom events into a coherent domain model that's easy to join and query with SQL.

> **Note**
>
> If your implementation uses the [Event Protocol](https://docs.coveo.com/en/o9je0592/), use the [CORE data model](https://docs.coveo.com/en/o1ad6219/) instead.
> The CORE model provides Coveo event types that already cover scenarios previously handled through UA custom events.

The UA Events expose the **UA** schema in Snowflake.
This schema encompasses a range of views that provides a comprehensive overview of standard data.
You can use these views to analyze and understand user interactions with your Coveo-powered [search interfaces](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2741/).
They're also a good way to better understand common [metrics](https://docs.coveo.com/en/263/) and how Coveo Analytics [reports](https://docs.coveo.com/en/266/) are structured.
For example, the clickthrough rate (CTR) can be calculated by joining the `clicks_shared` and `searches_shared` views on the `account_id` and `search_id` columns.

You can view and query the UA events in Snowflake:
