Article summary

Event grouping enables you to group two or more events together into a single grouped-event. An analysis on a combination of events helps you understand end-user behavior on the application. Group both Default Events (Whatfix-related events) and Custom Events (User Actions and events captured using API) to analyze certain metrics that require data of users interacting with any of the event types without any chart visualization.

The events are grouped together with an OR condition, which means that it shows the total number of users who performed any of the events added as part of a group in the last 30 days.

Use Cases

  • Consider that you want to find out the number of users who complete a process. You've created a Flow that users can follow to complete the process. For users who already know the process, they wouldn't need any guidance and would be able to complete the process on their own. You've created a User Action on the last step of the process to identify the completion for users who already know the process. The total number of users who complete the process can be calculated as all users who complete the Flow or complete the User Action. Group the Flow completed event and the Custom Event to measure the process completion.

  • Consider that you want to measure the effectiveness of Self Help and filter it by country. Create an Event group with the following events: Flow started, Article viewed, and Video link started from Self Help, and filter them by country. Add this to Trend Insights to visualize using charts and add the Insights to Dashboards for reporting.
