Metrics: New App Startup Analysis Metrics and Associated Dimensions (Beta)

Introduction:

Conviva introduces a new set of flow metrics designed to measure stateful user experiences to better analyze critical user experience impacts, such as users trying to restart an app after app crashes and non-responsive pauses.

These metrics enable drill-downs based on the user experience impacts to quickly determine the related root causes of performance issues, such as a network request, mishandling thread allocation or background processing.

Feature Update:

Adds new metrics and it's associated dimensions for deeper insights into user behaviors and app recovery patterns related to app stability issues:

• Mins with ANR To App Startup

• Mins with Crash To App Startup

• ANR To App Startup

• Crash To App Startup

The dimensions associated with,

• Mins with ANR To App Startup metric is ANR Reason

• ANR To App Startup metric is ANR Reason

• Crash to App Startup metric are Stack Trace, and Error Message

• Mins with Crash To App Startup metric are Stack Trace, and Error Message

Click to expand the image

Use Case:

Use these new metrics to discover the impacts of app thread processing issues and causes of app crashes with data on how often users relaunched the app after crashes or ANRs, and the amount of time users were impacted.

• User Timeline: Adds Contains Labels for Matched Sessions

• Custom Metric Builder: Adds Currency Unit for Event Aggregation Metrics

• AI Alerts: Simplifies Sensitivity Controls (Beta)

User Timeline: Adds Contains Labels for Matched Sessions

Feature Update:

Adds a Contains label to user sessions in the User Timeline dashboard to quickly identify sessions with events and global filters passed from Funnels and Paths. This enhancement provides analysis context and makes it easier to identify relevant sessions with events and filters related to sequences in Funnel and Path event progressions.

Click to expand the image

Use Case:

To perform deeper analysis of a sequence of events highlighted in Funnels and Paths, such as a path that ends with a login error to see what events lead to the error. Open the Users Dashboard by drilling into a User ID or Client ID to view sessions that contain the error and check user behavior before and after the error occurs.

More Details: User Dashboard

Custom Metric Builder: Adds Currency Unit for Event Aggregation Metrics

Feature Update:

Adds support to select a currency unit when creating event aggregation metrics. This setting is especially useful for metrics related to monetary values, such as those tracking payments.

Note: The unit is for display purposes only and does not impact how the data is processed.

Click to expand the image

Use Case:

To create a metric for tracking payment transactions, choose the Event Aggregation metric type, and identify the specific event and tag needed to extract the desired values. Decide whether to aggregate the data using sum or average, based on your analysis needs. Set the metric unit to ensure a clear and consistent display for easy interpretation.

• Flow and Metric Builder: Improved Activation Workflows for Flows and Metrics

• Trends: Extend Secondary Filters option to Duration Custom and Flow Metrics

Flow and Metric Builder: Improved Activation Workflows for Flows and Metrics

Feature Update:

Introduces redesigned UIs and workflows for building and activating Flows and Custom Metrics. The update streamlines event mapping, improves rule visibility, and enables more efficient creation and modification of flows and metrics.

Click to expand the image

Use Case:

When creating flow and custom metrics, map events not only from Event Looker using event metadata, but also from LiveLens by selecting events and their metadata directly from the timeline view.

More Details: Metric Builder

Trends: Extend Secondary Filters option to Duration Custom Metrics and Flow Metrics

Feature Update:

Applies secondary filter functionality to the duration custom metrics and average duration flow metrics. Use the selected distribution range as a page-level filter across the dashboard. Overlay a purple line on the time series view and insert two additional columns in the dimension table view. The dashboard shows primary filter details in blue, while the secondary filter appears as a pink overlay on the time series. An additional column shows the details of the secondary filter.

Click to expand the image

Use Case:

To analyze the average login flow duration for the EE TV Amazon Fire Tablet app, set it as the primary filter. Then, click the distribution icon next to the Flow Avg Duration metric and choose a range from the distribution view to apply a secondary filter. In this example, selecting a duration greater than 12 seconds applies a secondary filter, allowing a comparison of the success rate between the overall app and the subset with the selected duration. The secondary filter enables precise analysis of the impact of flow durations on flow outcome metrics, such as 'success'.

More Details see: Applying Metric Filters for Deeper Analysis in the Basics and Tasks tab.

Use Case:

To pinpoint services or APIs that impact Flows' conversion, analyze the network request durations and network request failures after enabling network requests associated with Flows.

More Details: Metric Builder

Trends Flow Widgets: New Business Metrics

Feature Update:

Adds two business metrics, which are independent of any flow constraints, to the Flow Widget. These metrics simply count how many times the event occurred and how many users completed the event.

Use Case:

To better understand how many complete events occur independently, for example, how many times a payment occurs, regardless of the initial event in the flow or the conversion time, check the Complete Events metric from the Flow Widget.

More Details: Flow Widget

Flow Builder: New Checkbox to Keep or Remove Historical Data When Updating Flows

Feature Update:

Adds a Keep historical data checkbox when editing the flow, enabling control over historical data persistence when flow settings change. This enhancement controls whether historical data is maintained across flow setting changes, allowing complete data refresh for major changes and persistent data for minor updates.

Note: By default, the Keep historical data checkbox is selected.

Click to expand the image

Use Case:

Preserves historical flow data for most setting updates, enabling flow adjustments based on trend analysis and performance tracking over time. The setting is especially beneficial during the initial flow setup phase as iterations with different settings can help refine flow definitions.

More Details: Metric Builder

Flow Specific Dashboard: Break Down Flow Errors by Custom Error and Event Dimensions

Feature Update:

Enables the flow errors analysis drill-downs with both custom error dimensions and flow event dimensions. This enhancement allows deeper and more actionable insights into where and why flow errors occurred.

Click to expand the image

Use Case:

Better understand the context of flow errors by using custom error dimensions and flow event dimensions for the Flow Specific Dashboard. For example, when errors occur, identify which product ID is most impacted.

Support for Reporting Audio, Subtitle, or Closed Caption Languages

All major Conviva platforms such as Android, iOS, JS, Roku, Web Brightcove, XBox, and C SDK now support reporting the audio, subtitle, or closed captions language values. These language event details enable customers to analyze scenarios like the impact of subtitle change on VPF and VRT.

Most of the Conviva modules auto-collect the language details during session start, and upon a change event. In case of custom integrations, use the new APIs to report the language details. To know more about the new APIs, refer to the video players integration section of the platform integration pages on the Learning Center:
