PX Analytics Data Dictionary

The Analytics section in PX supports three types of performance report groups; Audience, Features, and Engagements. The reports are displayed in the form of widgets. You can also apply filters to the data displayed.

General Analytics Terms

This section explains the terms that are used across PX Analytics. 

User Session: PX sessions are determined by tracking user activity within the application, and operate independently from the application's own session management or login/logout mechanisms. A PX session is initiated with the first recorded event for a user and concludes following a 30-minute period of inactivity, during which no user activity is detected by PX. Subsequently, any activity detected by PX from the same user, whether it occurs 31 minutes after the last event or at any point later — be it the next hour or day — triggers the start of a new PX session. Therefore, users may experience multiple PX sessions throughout a day, contingent on the frequency of 30-minute intervals of inactivity.

Audience Analytics Terms

This section explains the terms which you can find on widgets present in the Audience analytics section.

  • New Users: This widget displays the number of new users who registered to your application in the given time period. By default, the time period is set for the last 7 days. You can modify the default time period. You can also apply filters to the data displayed. 

    Data Comparison: This widget honors the data comparison feature. 
    • This widget compares the data for the time period you set with the equivalent historical time period.
    •  For instance, if you selected the last 7 days as the time period, the widget compares the data for the last 7 days with the data that existed for the 7 days which preceded the last 7 days. 
    • For example, if on 15 Oct 2020, you set the time period as Last 7 days, you can see the new users who signed up from 8 Oct 2020 to 14 Oct 2020. Also, you can see the percentile difference between the number of users who signed up from 1 Oct 2020  - 7 Oct 2020 and 8 Oct 2020 to 14 Oct 2020.
    • Similarly, if on 15 Oct 2019, you set the time period as Last 30 days, you get a compared data of new users registered from 2 Sep 2019 - 1 Oct  2019 and 16 Sept 2020 - 14 Oct 2020. 
  • Active Users: This widget displays the number of users who were active during the selected time period. A User is deemed to be active if they initiated any session during the time period. This widget also honors the Data Comparison features and allows you to apply filters. 
  • New Leads: This widget displays the number of new leads, generated during the selected time period. This widget also honors the Data Comparison features and allows you to apply filters. 
  • Active Users (Sessions and Events): This widget displays two items; the number of sessions that were created in the last 30 minutes and the number of events recorded per minute, for the last 30 minutes. 
  • Browsers: This widget displays the various browsers from which your application has been accessed, in the specified time period. When you click a browser in the widget, you can view the distribution of different versions of that browser.
  • Usage by time of day: This widget displays the time at which users accessed your application, in the specified time period. 
  • Session by Countries: This widget displays the various countries which initiated a session. The legend shows the top 5 countries which recorded the highest number of session, in the given time period. 

Features Analytics Terms

This section explains the terms which you can find on widgets present in the Features analytics section.

  • Custom Event: You can configure this widget to display data for any of the features, you wish. 
  • User Adoption Rate: This is a column located on the Adoption report. This column displays the percentage of users that have adopted the feature, against the total number of users matching the filter criteria.
