How to monitor account growth (by license utilization) month over month

Hi Amplitude community!Your help would be greatly appreciated here! I’m trying to build a chart/dashboard that shows account growth (or decline) over a period of time but not having much luck with building this view. For context, our customers book a total number of licenses as part of their contract and I would live to monitor whether or not customers are increasing their total number of active licenses vs booked licenses over time. For example, if ACME company purchased 10,000 licenses, then I want to monitor if ACME is using more or less of those licenses month over month. Ideally, I would like to build a dashboard that shows this growth or decline in license utilization across all customers. Thanks!Jon

How far back does the User Look-up view go when filtering for events?

I’m trying to filter for some “error” events that we’ve added in, so we can find users who’ve had an error and quickly dive into their profile.  I go to the User Look-Up view and filter for the error event in mind, but nothing shows up. It’s possible this event was from a few days ago.How far back do the search results go here when filtering by event? Does it only show the last X hours? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Event count in graphs and user stream do not match

Hi all,I realized we get different numbers in the graphs which have a group by “user_property”.Look at this - Count 1 (for the last 12 months): However in the user stream we see 3 events:And also in the user_lookup:  What is happening here? Data is several hours old so caching should not be the issue?Please advice!!Thank youLukas

What shall we use to uniquely identify users (also in relation to GDPR)

Hi All!What kind of ID do you use to uniquely identify users cross-product?We want to store the Google ID (the OAuth Subject, technically speaking) of users in order to be able to identify them. Is that a problem in relation to GDPR?Would we need to ask Amplitude to delete analytics records in case the user ask us for data deletion?Could we work around that, by using a hash of the ID instead, so there is no direct connection to a (deleted) user?Thank you for suggestions!Lukas

Release notes for amplitude changes

Does Amplitude publish any informal release notes of changes that are being made to the product?  I seem to discover some (quite good) changes rather organically and it’d be great to just see what’s changing on a weekly or at least monthly basis so that I can take advantage of some of the new stuff.  The blog used to publish monthly release notes but that seemed to have stopped sometime last fall.

Difference between REVENUETOTAL(A) and "by Revenue" Chart

Hi I’ve been working on pulling revenue data and I’m a little confused by some incongruity I noticed in my charts. When I set up a chart grouped by $price and based on the TOTALREVENUE(A) I have one set of numbers for daily revenue then when I use that same user and make the chart based on “Properties: revenue” it produces another entirely different set.  From what does the difference in these two means of summarizing revenue arise?

Lifecycle chart query

When i filter dormant users the bar charts show the negative scale, what does that mean? e.g. what does -8 dormant current user mean? if it means 8 current users went dormant that week then why is it appearing as -8? why not 8 only

Seeking Insights From Other Amplitude Users

Hello, my company is just starting to implement Amplitude and we were hoping to connect with others that are currently using Amplitude and have a B2B product portfolio similar to ours.  Our portfolio contains @10 products that all have some level of integration with our core product and all products are at different parts of their life cycle.  I wanted to get some insight on what you have done with Amplitude and how you are tracking usage/events across your entire portfolio which is our end goal.If anyone is interested in perhaps setting up a quick zoom call to discuss that would be much appreciated as well.

Can we backfill funnels in Amplitude?

Suppose I want to analyze the funnel between Event A → Event B → Event CSometimes, because of eventing issues or missing eventing, some users are able to get to Event C without doing Event B. In those cases, would it be possible to backfill on Event B, where we say “If a user has done Event A and Event C, assume they have also done Event B even if it is not present). In many cases, users are allowed to skip steps in the funnel, so I wanted to check if Amplitude has a way of incorporating that.

How to control for an event property in a funnel chart?

I wanted to look at the conversion between two events, say “Viewed Song” and “Played Song” (What % of users who view a particular song play it). The song_id is one of the event properties for both events, and I want to hold that constant over both events, so I’m answering “Of all the users who view a particular song, how many play that song” instead of “Of all the users who view a song, how many play any song”. Is there a way to do that in Amplitude?

First session analysis for a specific screen during onboarding

Hi, I’d like to do the following analysis for all users who sign up to my app, so only their first session. I already did a funnel analysis until they reach the home of the app. This analysis is focused on this specific screen (home) : average lenght of time on this screen.  most common actions on this screen which lead to subscribe. most common actions on this screen which lead to drop-off. user path (but only for first session).Thanks in advance !

Get creative with custom bracket retention!

First, a little background. If you didn’t know, Bracket Retention offers more flexibility and freedom than N-Day retention; it allows you to define your retention period. Essentially, this powerful tool can be used to analyze retention based on your product’s specific usage interval.  Bracket retention allows you to define any bracket of time you want, from a single day/week/month to multiple days/weeks/ months. On the x-axis, N-day retention maximums are 30-day, 24-week, and 12-month retention respectively. But what if you’re hoping to see beyond the default scope? Custom brackets make this possible! Say you’re looking to see weekly retention for the entire year. Using weekly granularity, you can create custom brackets for all 52 weeks of the year:  Amplitude will conveniently save your custom brackets to the metrics module. That way you can easily reference the same 52-week bracket again for future retention charts. How have you tried using custom brackets in your analysis?

Creating a behavioral cohort via API

Hi everyone,Is there way to programmatically create a behavioral cohort via some API endpoint?I have used the Dashboard REST API to build some custom event charts for some of my use cases, but was curious to know if we can input some basic parameters and clauses in a similar way to create cohorts as well.Thanks!

Total events and unique users changes when group by is used

Hi all, Why did the total number of events reduce when I include a user property into group by?Has this got to do with the pruning that is being applied?https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031259831 The user property is the company ID a user is tied to.Below is before group by with a user property for a particular event, performed by any users.For eg. there are 421 events in Feb 21  Below is after I add the company ID into the group by, for the same event, performed by any users.Feb 21 now has 130 events.It is possible that a user from a company ID, performs multiple events in the same month, but we are counting events here, so that should not be the reason, why it gets reduced.  The opposite can happen if I group by a user property like ‘role’ in which the user can have multiple roles. Again for the same event, performed by any users. We can see Feb 21 total events went up to 813.  Is there a concept/principle on how amplitude groups the data, that I am missing?Any ideas o

Finding drivers of long term retention

Hi,I’m working on finding drivers of long term retention in our SaaS product (long term in this case means that customers stick around for at least a year or more). I.e. the question I want to answer is: ‘What events or properties are leading indicators of long term retention?’I’ve used both the Compass feature, as well as the cohort comparison feature to try to answer this question, but I find that it’s hard to use them with such a long time frame. I’m curious to hear how other Amplitude users would approach this problem!

Can I createa a cohort with users who have signed between 24 and 72 hours ago?

The title basically. I am looking to create a cohort of new users who’ve been on the app for at least 24 hours, but less than 72. Is this possible to achieve? So far I’ve only managed to create a filter that checks for a new user at any time in the last 3 days, but not one that checks that they signed up at least 24 hours ago.

IF statement in an analysis?

Hi everyone!I keep track of where we get applications on our website via amplitude. Today, I do so using utm’s, but we still cannot attribute a majority of where our applications came from :(However, I recently added referrer and referring domain as a second potential source. What I want to do now, is create an analysis where I sort my users by utm_source or referrer. To be more specific, if the user has an utm_source, mark her as such. If no utm_source, then mark by referrer. If the user has neither an utm_source or a referrer, then mark as (none). Is it possible to do so?For reference, this is a graph I have today, with applications per utm_source

Amplitude Release monitoring is surprisingly uninformative

Hello,I am surprised how little information comes with the release feature: a few adoption metrics, and the proportion of new events that were added to the release.Where are the dashboards with event deltas, new paths, retention updates? Because of the semantic versioning, all the data is accessible; so is monitoring release from Amplitude not considered like a real use case? Happy to discuss about how the community approaches release monitoring.

Custom bucket interval controls in Sessions Length Distribution chart

Hello everyone,I noticed that there were some new session metrics available under the User Sessions chart ie. Total Session Counts, Total Time Spent and Average Time Spent per User.Along with this, we can now also customize the shape of the distribution by setting the minimum and maximum session lengths for the Sessions Length Distribution metric.  Using this, is it possible to set custom bucket intervals to specific granularity in the chart by dividing the time bucket as per our need?Previously, the chart showed intervals ranging from secs to mins to hrs in the same chart and was kinda the preferred way for most of our Amplitude users to consume this data.My specific use case is to have all sessions under 1 hr to be shown in intervals of 10 mins and anything above 1 hr in intervals of 1 hr.   I can do this using 2 separate charts, but wanted to know if it can be shown in the same chart. Thanks!

Can unbounded retention be lower than N-day retention for the same time period?

 I compare weekly N-day and unbounded retention for the same segment, same starting and return event and same period, I often get the longer retentions (W+3 here) with a lower unbounded than N-day retention. But If unbounded retention counts all the users who have returned on Week 3 of later, shouldn’t it be at least as many as the number of users who returned exactly on Week 3?N-Day retention (weekly)Unbounded retention (weekly)

Search tab feature - a quick hack

Hello fellow Datamonsters!The Search tab feature is a really handy feature in discovering the artifacts/saved objects created by your Amplitude users. One of the features in this is filtering the charts by owner name under the ‘Filter by'  → ‘Owner’ section .Every user has a user name and an avatar, which can be found in any of the workspaces and on the right side on the header of the charts/cohorts/dashboards owned by a user. A nifty little hack I discovered about this - both the name and avatar are hyperlinked in the UI. Clicking on either of them automatically opens the Search tab with that user's saved objects filtered in the Search view. Pretty neat. ⚡For more on the Search feature you can refer to the doc here.
