Can you have an event without properties?

Sorry if this is a super basic question but I’m wondering if it’s possible to have an event without any properties? For context, we want to track page view events.  Also, another question. When creating an event in Amplitude, how do you add time/date data? Or do you have specify date/time in event properties beforehand in order to actually see that data?

Property names questions

When creating an eventing taxonomy, I came across an Amplitude template for BtoB companies. I noticed that property names have different type of naming conventions across different events. I guess my question is, what role does a property name play in the overall scope of the taxonomy? Why not just have a property name be “type” instead of “cta type”, for example?

Why Google Analytics and Amplitude provide different results for the event "Page View"

Hello, I am using both Google Analytics and Amplitude to track users behavior in my CMS. However, for the specific event “Page View”, I have different numbers of events in both tools, while I track them in the same way. How do I track the event page view: when the DOM is ready, we sent the Website Page Viewed event. for GA, we use Google Tag Manager to track the events for Amplitude, we use the Amplitude JS library Results:On Google Analytics, for a given month:  27 900 events On Amplitude: 26 738 events for a given month Any ideas what could be the source of the problem?

Measuring month on month retention

Hi,I’m trying to analyse month on month retention for different users groups (those who were existing users in the previous month and those who were new users in the previous month) but I can’t seem to create a chart which gives me this analysis and also can’t find anything in Amplitude documentation which supports this.Has anyone had any success in performing this kind of analysis with Amplitude charts? I thought I had found a way to do it by creating two user segments in a Segmentation chart, one segment is users who had performed the active event in each month and the second segment is users who had performed the event in the current month, offset by one month. Sadly this doesn’t give me the right numbers.Many thanks!

How can I track events per subscribed member

We fire an “attendance” event each time a member attends one of our sessions. We’d like to see the number of attendance events divided by the total number of subscribed members over time, so that we have a view of attendance per member. How can we achieve this?I’ve set up a cohort in amplitude that tracks all our subscribed members. I’m not able to figure out how I can use the cohort size in a chart to track the attendances per member, though. Guidance on this would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

What is a default value for setEventUploadPeriodMillis in React Native?

Dear Amplitude Community,Could you suggest what is a default value for setEventUploadPeriodMillis in React Native?This information is missing both in production and beta docs. I’ve found that default value for Java is 10,000 milliseconds https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/java#configure-batching-behavior. Is it the same for React-Native?

Getting all variants (JS SDK)

Hi!According to the docs there is a method on the ExperimentClient class - all() - that returns all variants for the deployment. I’ve tried using this (after having fetched all variants from the server) but it just makes the thread hang.SDK version is the latest (1.5.0).

[Dashboard API] Is there a possibility of data being pruned when using Results from an Existing Chart

Hi there,I’m curious if there is a chance of data being pruned or failing to response due to massive chart data when using Dashboard API’s Results from an Existing Chart endpoint.I’m implementing a feature something similar to:a feature where users can view their profile’s page view counts. users can view who viewed their profile within the last few days, etc.So the chart I’ve created is basically page view events grouped by profile ID which will scale as more profile (users) are created.Thanks,

Weekly retention / change over time

Hi, guys! I’m trying to understand how weekly retention and custom brackets work. As an experiment I’ve created two charts - one for standard weekly retention shown as change over time and the other for custom bracket 7-13 daily retention also shown as change over time. I expected that Week 1 retention and weighted average of the same 7 days of 7-13 daily retention would be roughly at the same level. But in fact the difference is around 25% between them and I can’t wrap my head around it. Am I missing something? Thanks!

What is the best alternative for measuring bouncerate on Amplitude?

Hey everybody im new here!I use Amplitude to measure how my A/B-test experiments are doing and one of the goals that I have for one of these A/B-tests is decreasing the bouncerate. I use now any active event as goal, but I’m not 100% sure if this is the right event to use. Since i’m not sure if an exit is also considered as an (active?) event. Anybody can help me with this?

Retention report - number of users on the graph and in the view menu do not match

Hi!While analyzing the retention report, I came across different data in the same report:1. Retention report says that there are 1,58% of users who came back on 26 day.The numbers of users at cohort is 1005, so there should be 1005*1,58%=16 users who returned at day 262. If i click at “view users” at day 26, i can see that there is only 3 users which is not the same as 16 at the previous bulletIf i download a CSV of that users and calculate retention, the number of returned users at d26 is 4 which is 0,32% from number of users at cohort (1232). Also number of users at cohort is different from the number on chart (1005 and 1232) Which data is correct? If I’m analyzing that report in incorrect way, tell me which one is correct. Thank you!

Full list of country anywhere?

Hi, I have a rather simple question.Is there a full list of country names used on Amplitude somewhere?I want to map country names to ISO3166 country codes but some country names on Amplitude are different to the ones in ISO-3166. For instance, ‘Myanmar’ is the name in ISO-3166, but Amplitude uses ‘Myanmar (Burma)’. So it would be really helpful if there’s a full list of Amplitude specific country names. Do we have such?
