Default Event Tracking as part of our Browser SDK 2.0

Hi customers! Today we’re excited to announce our Browser SDK 2.0 update, which includes Default Event Tracking. What is Default Event Tracking (DET)? Default Event Tracking logs generic and common events when setting up applicable SDKs, accelerating your time to insights. We’ll be updating our Browser SDK to automatically instrument and track a predefined set of events.Here are the default events and event properties:  Page Viewed Page Domain Page Location Page Path Page Title Page URL Form Started Form ID Form Name Form Destination Form Submitted Form ID Form Name Form Destination File Downloaded File Extension File Name Link ID Link Text Link URL Start Session End SessionWhat does this mean for you? Default event tracking provides customers significant value since it removes some of the burden to instrument and define every event. But, default event tracking does apply to your event volume. For new customers, if you choose the Browser SDK, you’ll be instructed to download the new version with Default Event Tracking during onboarding. For existing customers, you’ll get notified to upgrade to the latest version of the SDK and need to manually turn Default Event Tracking off if you prefer to not track these events automatically.How can I turn off or block the events from Default Event Tracking? You can choose which DET events you want to turn off or on within the init code snippet. Please take a look at this doc for the snippet. You can also block or delete these events in our Data product. Deleted events will not show up in your analyses.Please look here in our Dev Docs for more details. Thank you!

March Product Release Highlights

Drive better business decisions from clearer insights We’re closing out Q1 on a high note! With our March feature releases, you can expect deeper insights, greater flexibility, and even more powerful experimentation tools.Updates are available to all Amplitude customers, including the EU Data Center, unless stated otherwise.  Summary New Analytics releases New Chart Controls [Opt-in Beta] Funnels updates New Notification experience [Beta] Data Tables improvements Atlassian Smart Links update New Data releases General availability of Identify Forwarding General availability of User Property Mapping  Shared Credentials New Experiment releases ICYMI: New release blog content Experiment Groups Formula Metrics [Beta]   New Analytics releasesDeeper insights, more powerful controls Speed decision-making with new Chart Controls [Opt-in beta]We’ve redesigned our chart creation flow to make analysis easier for new and experienced users alike. Improvements include: A Guided, top-down structure with a linear flow simplifies the layout so users can easily orient themselves, making learning and teaching Amplitude easier than before. A side-by-side view with controls on the left and chart on the right enables instantaneous feedback on how changes impact the chart, helping you better explore your data. New Responsive Layout means users can click and drag the controls wider to have more space, and at a certain point, the segment card “snaps” to the top of the controls in a format that is similar to our older layout. This gives the user more vertical real estate to build out many events+filters or lengthy segments. Improved drop-down experience removes the guesswork from chart creation by adding new descriptions, categories, and metadata to the drop-down selector. The new experience will be available to preview starting in April for the following charts: Event Segmentation Funnels Pathfinder Data Tables Retention User Composition Sessions Users with new side controls can access these features by opting into the early beta preview. Simply click “Try our New Look” at the top right corner of any chart listed above. Learn more about new Chart Controls. More Flexible Analysis with FunnelsAlong with our new chart control experience, we’ve introduced updates to Funnels that offer more flexible user conversion insights. You can now: Compare multiple events at each step of the funnel to understand the relative conversion. Mark a funnel step as optional to better understand the conversion impact. Define custom events for a step in the funnel directly in-line without creating a new event. Compare property values by selecting one segment/property value as a baseline and analyzing  the rest of the segments against it for Funnel group by. Users can access these features by opting into the early beta preview. Simply click “Try our New Look” at the top right corner of any chart with updated controls.Learn more about in-line custom events. Send notifications to multiple channels [Beta]We’ve rolled out a brand new notification experience allowing teams to more easily subscribe to notifications about themselves or their organization.

Amplitude Data is Generally Available

Earlier this year, we introduced a beta version of Amplitude Data — a central hub for data management in Amplitude that combines Govern, Sources, and Destinations with new planning and data observability features. We've been incorporating your feedback and improving performance. Today, we are excited to announce that we're removing the Beta label and making Amplitude Data generally available!In case you're new to Amplitude Data, the new experience improves your ability to: Plan: Leave outdated spreadsheets and one-off Confluence pages behind, and use an always up-to-date tracking plan you can evolve with your team. You can proactively plan events and properties directly in Amplitude during development and instrument events accurately from the get-go. Verify: New observability features let you monitor incoming data and immediately identify issues. You'll be able to verify incoming data against your tracking plan and identify potential problems to help you improve your data quality. Collaborate: With branches, you can have a working copy of your tracking plan you can develop with your team. No need for v2/v3/v4 versions of a spreadsheet — you can iterate with your team in a branch, then merge once you're ready. You can also ensure your team is up-to-speed with commenting support and Slack notifications. Enterprise and Govern Add-on customers also have access to advanced data management features in Amplitude Data, including transformations that help clean up your data and derived properties that let you use formulas to create new properties retroactively.Customers with the Accounts add-on will also be able to move to the new experience soon. The Accounts add-on allows you to perform analyses by custom groups (for example, by companies instead of by individual users). Amplitude Data provides additional capabilities to plan and manage these group types and properties. Over the coming weeks, we're also adding support for Portfolio and working on a new version of the Taxonomy API.Check out the Amplitude Academy Course to see Amplitude Data in action, find more details in our help documentation, and stay tuned to get your migration notification in your email with more information about the new experience.

Experiment: Duration estimation and conclusion clarity

We have two minor updates to quickly talk about to the lifecycle component of Experiment. Lifecycle is the structure of Experiment in stages with Plan, Configure, Monitor, and Analyze as seen across the top of the page. We’re so grateful for all of our customers who provide us feedback on the overall lifecycle of their experiments. We’re always aiming to have this lifecycle match what happens in reality. Two areas we’ve received feedback on are from users wanting to have a better understanding of how long it will take for an experiment to finish running as well as a bit more clarity on what to do when an experiment ends.  Analyze: New Duration EstimationWe have now added a Duration Estimate to the summary card while your experiment is running. This callout provides an estimate of how much longer we believe it will take for the analysis to reach statistical significance as it relates to your primary metric. We calculate this largely based on how much traffic the experiment has been receiving so far and project that forward as an estimate. We also provide an estimated best case and worst case scenario.  Analyze: Completing an ExperimentPreviously when an experiment reached statistical significance, we presented users with a button labeled “Make a Decision”. While we ultimately think this is the best outcome for an experiment, to make a well informed product decision based on the data, sometimes an experiment does not end in making a product decision. Sometimes users would not click this button because they weren’t ready to make a final decision. We’re now changing that button to read “Complete Experiment”, making that button more prominent in a few places, as well as making it more dynamic based on what our recommendation is. We’re also adding the ability to go back and revisit a decision, allowing users to change their previous decision. We hope this brings a bit more clarity to the purpose of this button to complete an experiment and take a next step.     Thank you again to everyone that continues to drive incredible decisions through Experiment and we’re always looking for ways to improve the product, both big and small.

Experiment: New Warnings for SRM Detection & Guardrails

Update by Stephen Choi, Marina Sergeyeva, & Shelley Wang, our lead engineers on diagnostics and warningsOne area that has become increasingly important for our customers is the ability to be warned when experiments are not quite going as expected. This meta-analysis of the quality of experiment data ensures that our customers can trust the analysis and results of each experiment. Last month we released diagnostic run-time charts, as the first step in this direction, giving users the ability to track the health of their experiments in real-time. Watching the assignment and exposure event data allows anomalous data to surface that is otherwise hidden in other tools. We’re excited to continue to expand on that work this month with two new updates: SRM Detection warnings and Experiment guardrail warnings.  SRM Detection Warnings2 new charts & 2 new warning boxesSample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) occurs when there is an uneven or unintended distribution of exposures to the control and variant(s) in an experiment. As an example, if you’ve set a 50/50 allocation in your experiment so that 50% of your users see the control and 50% of your users see the variant, you would expect to see a 50/50 split in the actual exposures as planned. However, due to various reasons outside of our control, sometimes more users can see the control or the variant. This is usually an unintended bug in your code or deployment of the experiment in the feature flags.  When an SRM occurs, you may see something like 55% of users seeing control and 45% of users seeing the variant. This indicates something has gone wrong with the true randomization of the experiment and that the analysis & results should be highly scrutinized.  We will be publishing a blog on SRMs in the near future with more in-depth explanations on why they’re important to catch. Subscribe to our blog so you don’t miss that!  What we shipped!We are adding two new charts to help users to get information to indicate whether there is a sample ratio mismatch ratio in the running experiment as well as warning boxes when an SRM has been detected. Assignment to Exposure conversion chartThis chart provides information on how many assignment events actually have converted to an exposure event. It is another form of displaying the assignment and exposure events shown in the Monitor tab already. If there is a significant difference in the conversion for each variant, then it is a good indication of why an SRM, if at all, is happening. Variant Jumping chart for each variantVariant jumping is when the same user sees two or more variants. This is another good indication of an SRM if the numbers are significantly high. SRM Detection WarningsThere will now be a warning banner in the Monitor tab and on the summary card in the Analyze tab if a significant SRM has been detected. We also provide a help center article which provides recommended actions.     Experiment Guardrail WarningsMaking foundational changes to the setup of an experiment after it has already started running is not best practice and can lead to unexpected results that are difficult to interpret. Customers have asked us to provide ample warning if they are about to make a change to the configuration of an experiment that could lead to invalidating the analysis. These new guardrail warnings will generate a pop-up message when a user is about to make a change that could affect the validity of an experiment.     When experiments influence product decisions the data must be trusted.  If there are other areas in the product where you worry about data quality and experiment integrity, please let us know!
