Get faster performance for cohort dropdown in charts

Simplify GTM setup with object format event properties and identify call bulk
Our latest feature is designed to make your GTM setup even more simple and scalable. As of this month, customers can choose an object format GTM variable as an input for event properties and identify calls set operation. Instead of using individual operations for setting event properties and identifying call set operations manually for different tags, users can now create a reusable variable and utilize it across multiple tags. With this update, we’re simplifying the event property configuration process and reducing repetitive setup tasks.

Identify variants with Experiment color results grid
Major makeover! This month, we redesigned the analysis table in Experiment and Experiment Results to make it easier to read and identify significant variants. Metrics are now structured as rows, while variants are displayed across columns. Table cells can be hovered to bring up a card with details, and are now colored if that variant is statistically significant.
Split URL Testing iBeta]
