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!

Now you can access these insights out of the box. Access this feature in the Retention Analysis chart experience. Capture new customer behavior insights with Event Historical CountThis new event property lets you capture the nth instance of a customer performing an action. While it works similarly to the existing Historical Count filter, there’s a key difference. Historical Count is applied after all other filters. For example, if you want to understand user conversion from various first landing pages to purchase, Event Historical Count ensures that it's the first event in their user journey. The new Event Historical Count filter is applied first before any other filters. Access this feature in an Event Segmentation chart by filtering on Amplitude Event Properties and selecting Historical Event Count.Learn more about Event Historical Count. Build out dashboards more easilyTwo updates make it easier than ever to add content to dashboards: Select “Add Content” or “Start with a Template” when creating a new dashboard to avoid building from a blank page. (Looking for the old options to add charts, cohorts, and text? We’ve moved these to the “Add Content” toolbar.) Add content to the middle of an existing dashboard.

Saved charts are organized alongside relevant insights in Spaces, aggregated into monitoring dashboards and notebooks for storytelling, and searchable by future users looking to kickstart their analysis.  Customize how currency is displayed in charts [Beta]You can now select a locale for formatting currency amounts in charts. This choice informs both the currency symbol and locale-specific formatting at the project level. For example, if you select Italy as a locale, 123,456,789.01 will be displayed as “123.456.789,01 €” in your project.Note: This update does not handle currency conversions.Access the local to customize how currency is displayed at the project level in Organization Settings.Learn how to change the currency unit for your project. Enjoy an updated search experience We saw an opportunity to refresh our search experience to make it more modern, consistent, and easy to use.

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.
