Client Event Timestamp vs Client Upload Timestamp

Hello,Looking at various Event Streams of my users, I’ve noticed that the Client Event Time & Client Upload Time have various time spans between them. Sometimes they are seconds apart, sometimes hours, sometimes days. Seconds or hours isn’t necessarily a big deal, but events uploading days later is causing real problems for us. I understand that the Amplitude SDK has a batching mechanism so I don’t expect the timestamps to match exactly. My question is there a way in amplitude to graph the skew of client event and client upload time? I want to get an idea of on average how far behind is the client upload from the client event time. I found this old blog post with a chart that I want to recreate with our data (https://amplitude.com/blog/dont-trust-client-data) but the link at the bottom of the post is broken (https://amplitude.com/docs#timestamps). Attached is a screenshot of an event that was uploaded days later: Does anyone have ideas or recommendations on how to visualize this?

Is it possible to remove Android COARSE_LOCATION permission?

Hey community! 🖐 I recently added Amplitude to my Android project, and I’m now getting this warning in the Play Store when I upload a new bundle containing Amplitude. After digging into my merged manifest, I found that it was indeed Amplitude that had added the “COARSE_LOCATION” permission. I know that I can disable various tracking options, but is there a way to disable them and remove this permission from our app, yet still use Amplitude?

Can I disable using client_event_time without adjustment when difference is less than 60 seconds?

https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/229313067-User-Activity#Raw-Data-FieldsNOTE: If the difference between server_received_time and client_upload_time is less than 60 seconds, the event_time will not be adjusted and will equal the client_event_time. This is done automatically for newer projects, i.e, those with an ID of 243704 or higher. If you want this 60-second cutoff time to apply to an older project, please reach out to Amplitude Support.I want to disable this feature and always have event_time calculated via formula:event_time = client_event_time + (server_received_time - client_upload_time)Motivation:I have two event sources: backend and frontend.Event 1 from frontend: User clicked on Buy buttonEvent 2 from backend: Purchase startedSuppose user device’s clock differs from amplitude’s  for 30seconds, then User clicked on Buy button timings may be:Client Event Time = 3:44:50 pm UTC Client Upload Time = 3:44:50 pm UTC Server Upload Time = 3:45:22 pm UTC Server Received Tim

Required versus Optional event property

I want to set up some event properties that are used by many events, however I have noticed that I cannot have it set as required for some events, and optional for others. When I change an event property to optional, it changes it to optional for all events. Is it possible to have some properties be optional for some events, and required for others?Did I hit a bug or a feature?

Compilation error after generating code

I am trying to follow the documentation here: https://www.docs.developers.amplitude.com/data/sdks/java/ampli/#trackgenerating code into a backend kotlin project, similar to this example https://github.com/amplitude/ampli-examples/tree/main/jre/kotlin/AmpliApp However when I generate the code there is a compilation error in the generated file Ampli.kt, line 207  open fun identify(userId: String?, event: Identify? = null, options: EventOptions? = null, extra: MiddlewareExtra? = null) { if (!this.isInitializedAndEnabled()) { return } val amplitudeEvent = this.createAmplitudeEvent(event?.eventType, event?.options, options, userId) amplitudeEvent.userProperties = this.getEventPropertiesJson(event) this._client?.logEvent(amplitudeEvent, extra) } the problem is that event is a nullable type. In the example repo i pasted above, this argument is non-nullable

Is ROLLWINBEFORE working?

Hi, I’m using the ROLLWINBEFORE formula and noticing it produces the same result as ROLLWIN. For a monthly metric, I’m expecting ROLLWIN(UNIQUES, A, 1) gives result for the current month while ROLLWINBEFORE(UNIQUES, A, 1) gives result for last month. Am I interpreting this wrongly? Thanks in advance!

Unable to fetch the users information from a funnel chart

Hi, i’m trying to create a spreadsheet to display on what stage of the funnel have my users reached.The first thing i tried, was to use the endpoint `https://amplitude.com/api/3/chart/chart_id/query`, but it only brings general information about the quantity of user on each stage of the funnel, it doesn’t even bring the id of the users on each stage The data i need is the same i get when i download the users on a step of the funnel, but on my research on the documentation, i couldn’t find any endpoint that would let me get this specific information. (the users on this specified funnel chart) Is there any way i could get this information through the API?

Developer API for updating segmentation chart

I’d like to programmatically update an event segmentation chart.  Specifically I’d like to either:Update the where filter in an event module OR Update the custom date of the Compare to past option in the Properties tabIs this possible with the Amplitude developer APIs?  Thanks!Edit: For context, I have a chart that shows data for the last N releases of our app.  As new releases are pushed out, I’d like to automatically update the chart to show the latest releases.  Right now, we need to manually update the chart for each release.

Need help with a cancelation

I am trying to cancel my Amplitude account. My account manager is telling me because I requested at 45 days instead of 60 days before my renewal that I cannot. Please help me. This is a really upsetting way to treat a small company who has been a customer for two years.My account manager told me that he agreed we should be able to cancel. I didn’t hear back for two weeks. When I followed back up, he said legal is saying no. He also gave me an excuse for not following up that he knows I am in an area impacted by hurricanes and that is why he didn’t respond to my request to cancel.Please connect me with someone who can assist me.

Reduce steps to obtain user properties

Our team has a Lifecycle chart that shows users who were dormant this past week. I want to make it easy to reach out to those users and learn why they were dormant. Right now on the Lifecycle chart, I click the Dormant Users bar → click View Users → click each User ID one-by-one → click See all other User properties → and then I can see which user it is! Is there a way to surface the user property that enables me to identify this user (e.g. email or name) with fewer clicks? Thanks!

Computing and displaying WAU percentage

Our team wants to track WAU within our “Target Users” cohort. The numerator should be the number of target users who have an active event in the last 7 days. The denominator should be the total number of target users.I want to display WAU of Target Users as a percentage KPI on our dashboard.I tried to accomplish this by creating a segmentation chart and selecting Active %. I also tried using a Formula of UNIQUES(A1)/UNIQUES(A2) where A1 = Target Users who have an active event and A1 = Target Users. However, inclusion in the segmentation chart is based on whether the user has Any Active Event which means the denominator is incorrect. I need to make the denominator all Target Users rather than pre-filtering on those who have Any Active Event.In terms of displaying the result, I’ve selected to display it in KPI format so it’s a single number, rather a line chart format on the dashboard.I’d like advice on how to compute and display the WAU percentage. Thanks!

How do I allow certain users access to a specific project?

How do I grant access to specific projects for certain users?  Or put another way:  How do I limit the projects certain users have access to? I have a subset of users that I want to grant access to only a specific project.  I do not want them to be able to access/see other projects in our organization. I’ve not been able to find a way to do this and documentation appears sparse on this use case, though it seems like it should be pretty straight forward.  Any insights welcome!  Thanks!

Alerts: Comparing with data from over 1 week ago.

Hello, I’m just getting started setting up alerts for some of our key metrics.  One thing I’d like to do is trigger an alert if a metric is a certain percentage higher than it was 3 months ago.  I see our options are comparing to the previous day’s value and the previous week’s value but no option beyond that.  Is it possible to compare data values from further back?  Thanks!

Please, we need to know, what will it happen if we enable SSO in our Amplitude.I mean, at this moment, we have 350 active users (locally in Amplitude). And we are planning to enable SSO. So:The access to existing content will lost or everything is going to be ok after enabling SSO?What will it happen with every ROLE-TEAM per user after enabling SSO? Will it be necessary to re assign againa one by one after enabling SSO?This is urgent for us, as you know, local users is a very high risk.Thank you.

Converting an Event's Property's Value in a Segmentation Graph

I’ve created a Segmentation graph that shows average shopping times. It takes a look at the shopping_time property of all shopping_completed events in a given day and plots the average of those values. I’m wondering if there is a way to apply a formula to the shopping_time values, which we are currently sending in milliseconds, so that we can show either seconds or minutes on the y-axis instead of what is currently milliseconds. Is this a possibility or do we just have to send the shopping_time values in whatever unit we are currently wanting to measure?
