What is the best way to analyze buttons click? 
For instance, I have a flow of purchase with a few clicks with no particular events in it -- just a regular click with confirmation of the action. What is the best way to track it in Amplitude?
 

My idea was to make ‘Click On’ with properties named for different buttons.
​​​​​​​

For instance registration flow:

1)
‘Click On’
buttonName = Sign Up in header

2)
‘Click On’
buttonName = Register Now

Is it the right way to do such things?

Hi @Jackson ,

That would be one way to do it. We initially followed a similar naming convention of using a generic event name for click events in our product and tracking the button location/name as the event property. But soon found out that we lose the context of the user flow when interpreting user stream and event activity. 

Assuming that you’ll be analyzing your clicks in a funnel, a better way might be to name the events as “ User Signed Up”, “Completed Registration” , etc as per what feels appropriate to your funnel interpretation. 

Amplitude’s Data Taxonomy Playbook  doc can help further.

 

Hope this helps!
