PX Analytics Data Dictionary

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.
