New updates and improvements to Usermaven

  1. Engagement column in contacts hub, funnel window and more

    New Feature
    Improvement

    1. Engagement Column

    In our latest update, we've introduced a new "Engagement" column in the Contacts Hub. This column provides an overview with four distinct engagement levels:

    • Highly Active
    • Moderately Active
    • Low
    • At Risk

    Engagement is measured by multiplying the number of events by the ratio of active days within the past 30 days to 30. For users who have recently signed up, engagement is determined by considering the date of their registration to the platform and tallying the number of events they've participated in since then.

    Please note: The "At Risk" engagement category is exclusive to Users and Companies only.

    2. Funnels Improvements

    Funnel Window

    Now you can set the window size for your funnel. The window size determines the duration (in days/hours/minutes) within which a user must complete the funnel steps.

    For instance, if you designate a window size of 7 days, the user is given a 7-day period to finish the funnel steps. Users failing to complete the steps within this 7-day span won't be included in the funnel's count.

    funnel window

    Events Compaction

    In our funnels module, we've implemented a compaction feature. Previously, in a funnel sequence like Step A -> B -> B -> C -> D, the strict mode would encounter issues due to the adjacent repetition of Step B. With the new compaction feature, such repetitions are effectively handled.

    For those utilizing the Journeys feature and funnels in Usermaven, you can expect precise outcomes in both functionalities.

    3. Product Insights UX Improvements

    In the earlier version of the Product Insights module, creating a new insight required several steps. However, with the current update, you can swiftly generate a new Insight simply by selecting the "Create New Insight" button located within the Product Insights module.

    4. Time filter in Visitors overview

    Before, the Visitors overview page only displayed visitor data from the last 7 days. Now, we've enhanced this feature by introducing a dropdown menu that offers additional time period options, enabling you to view visitor statistics for up to the last 90 days.

    visitors date dropdown menu

    This enhancement is particularly valuable for observing the journeys of individual visitors and understanding the actions they undertake.

    Other Improvements

    • We've transitioned the Funnel creation interface from modals to the Drawer to ensure consistency across the platform.
    • The options in the Product Insights module, including Onboarding, Product Engagement, and others, have been relocated to the left pane, transitioning away from the tab format.
    • Additionally, you now have the capability to conceal the Product Insights menu items using the "Customize Menu" section.
    • We've streamlined the process of creating a new insight, reducing the number of required clicks. Specifically, defining an insight name and setting up event conditions have been made more straightforward.

    We hope you'll find value in these updates. Until next time, enjoy!

  2. Company timeline view, analyze traffic change in top sources, UTM metrics, and more

    New Feature
    Improvement

    In this week's release, we've introduced two significant new features in Usermaven. Let's delve deeper.

    Company Timeline View

    The Company Timeline View is particularly useful if you wish to monitor how users within a company engage with the application. For B2B SaaS companies, it's crucial to identify which users are most active. This information can later facilitate obtaining feedback from these specific users or exploring upsell opportunities.

     

    company timeline

     

    Note: The company timeline view shows the activity based on the weekly basis for the company users.

    Should you wish to view the total number of events carried out by users over the past 30 days, you can utilize the 'Users' option within the 'Company' section.

    company users activity

     

    Comparing Traffic Variations: Top sources, UTM traffic and other sections

    In our latest release, we've further enhanced the analytics comparison feature. Now, when you choose the comparison option, you'll instantly see the percentage change in traffic between the current and previous periods across key sections like Top Sources, UTM Traffic, and more.

    This intuitive update empowers you to swiftly pinpoint which traffic sources have experienced increases or decreases, streamlining your analysis and decision-making process.

    traffic-change-percentage

     

    Additionally, hovering over the 'Change' will display the number of visitors from the selected comparison period.

     

    traffic change value

     

    In the detailed view for Top Sources, UTM Traffic, and other sections, the percentage change is now clearly displayed. Additionally, you can easily sort data based on these changes, giving you even more control over your analysis."

    New Feature
    Announcement

    Compare Analytics

    Gain invaluable insights and fresh perspectives into your user data with Usermaven's cutting-edge feature for comparing stats over time. Our robust comparison tool empowers you to analyze data from specific date ranges and see how it stacks up against other periods seamlessly.

    The comparison feature lets you contrast data from the previous period or a custom time-frame. Additionally, you can select either "Match day of the week" or "Match exact date" for a more precise comparison.

     

     

    Contacts Hub 2.0

    Exciting news! We've given our Contacts Hub Profiles a major overhaul! Get ready to explore the enhanced Visitor, User, and Company detailed views, now equipped with Top Events, Top Pages, Feature Adoption insights, and a handy Notes feature.

    Here's what's new:

     

    pika-1695899340220-1x

     

    First seen: View the initial time a user was observed and the first touch-point they encountered before registering for your web application.

    Last Seen: The most recent time when the user accessed your web application.

    Created: The date when the user's account was established.

    Engagement: Engagement is categorized into four levels: At Risk, Low Activity, Moderate Activity, and High Activity. It's determined by evaluating the actions the user has taken relative to the overall user activity events in the last 30 days.

    Activity Heatmap: The activity heatmap displays user activity and the count of events they've executed.

    Onboarding Status: If you've configured the Onboarding Insight, you can view it in the User profile to determine whether they have completed the onboarding process. Additionally, you can view the specific onboarding steps they have completed.

     

    Top Pages: Uncover User Interests

    By exploring the Most Visited Pages, you can identify which sections of your site are particularly captivating and drawing user attention. The Page Visit Count offers deeper insights, allowing you to understand the frequency at which users are accessing these popular pages.

    This combination of data provides a comprehensive view of user behavior and preferences, helping you to refine and optimize your site's content accordingly.

     

    pika-1695899380235-1x

     

    Top Events: Track Pinned and Custom Events

    With the Top Events Overview, you can obtain a holistic perspective of both Pinned and Custom Events, giving you a clear snapshot of your most significant events.

    • The Activity Trends section paints a picture of how event activity has evolved over the past 30 days, using intuitive line graphs that make trends easily discernible at a glance.
    • The Total Count feature lets you understand the cumulative occurrence of each event, helping you gauge its frequency and importance. Additionally, with the First and Last Occurrence data, you can track the timeline of specific events, noting when they were initially triggered and their most recent activation.

    Together, these tools offer a comprehensive understanding of user behavior and event interactions on your site.

     

    pika-1695902309705-1x

     

    Feature Usage: Understand Feature Adoption

    The new feature usage graph in User Overview provides a comprehensive view of how users are engaging with your product's features.

    • Usage Patterns: View feature usage on daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.
    • Identify Inactivity: Identify features that have never been used by specific users.

     

    pika-1695902424359-1x

     

    Notes

    The notes feature offers a valuable tool for appending critical information directly to the User or Company profile.

    For instance, ContentStudio.io, a SaaS company, utilizes Usermaven in their sales journey. They leverage the notes feature to jot down pivotal points from discussions with potential customers. This ensures that crucial details are always accessible and linked to the relevant profile, facilitating seamless communication and a more informed sales process.

    pika-1695902630518-1x

     

    Note: The Contacts Hub has undergone a redesign, impacting both the Visitors and Company views as well. However, it's important to mention that in the visitor view, the "feature adoption" section will not be present.

    Segment by Location

    We've introduced a new feature in the Segments: the ability to filter visitors, users, or companies based on their location. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for those looking to analyze platform usage patterns by region, offering insights into how different geographic segments interact with your platform.

     

    pika-1695902886818-1x

     

    Bug Fixes:

    • In Funnels, applying traffic exclusion with page rules previously caused disruptions and broke the funnel. This issue has been resolved.
    • Segments were returning one user when there were no contacts available; this has also been corrected in this release.
    • In Web Analytics, for monthly periods, only the first date of the month was previously displayed. Now, only the month name will be shown.
    • Issues with the last quarter comparison dates missing some days have been addressed and fixed in this release.

    Each of these enhancements contributes to a more seamless and accurate user experience across the platform.

    We hope you enjoy these updates and let us know what you would like to see next in the Usermaven by sharing feedback with us.

    New Feature
    Improvement

    This week, we're excited to roll out two new features and enhancements to the Product Insights user experience. Let's dive in:

    Pinned events detailed view

    Just like our Custom Events' detailed view, we've introduced a detailed view for Pinned Events. This new view provides an overview, displayed in histogram form, of the number of times an event was performed.

    New onboarding flow for Product Insights

    We've made significant enhancements to the Product Insights module. If you haven't set up any reports within this module yet, simply define your key events in the Product Insights section, and all insights will be configured automatically for you.

     

    pika-1692355642990-1x

     

    To utilize this feature, ensure that you are providing Users/Companies data and have already created some pinned events or you are passing the custom events.

     

    pika-1692355281722-1x

     

    Duplicate funnel

    We've introduced an option to duplicate funnels. This is especially useful when you're working with funnels that have similar conditions but with a few added steps, or if you're conducting A/B testing through funnel analysis.

     

    pika-1692355777449-1x

This feature maps out the various paths users take on your app or website, providing insights into what users do before or after key events like signing up or making a purchase. This powerful tool can help you reduce churn by tracking events that lead to cancellations.

    Here's what you can do with User Journeys:

    • Discover Conversion Paths: Understand the steps your users take that lead to conversions. Optimize these paths for a seamless user experience and increase your conversion rates.

    As always, your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to enhance Usermaven, aiming to provide the most user-centric platform possible.

     

  7. Introducing Maven AI - Bringing Generative AI to Usermaven

    New Feature

    Today, we are thrilled to provide an early sneak peek into Usermaven's initial step into the realm of generative AI. We proudly present Maven AI, an innovative concept that's as straightforward as it gets. If you have a query about your data in Usermaven, all you have to do is ask it — using everyday language.

     

    Sample queries you can pose to Maven AI:

    • "What was the total traffic to our website last month?"
    • "Which webpage has the highest bounce rate this week?"
    • "What are the top three sources of referral traffic?"
    • "What is the average session duration for users from social media?"
    • "How many unique visitors did we have last quarter?"
    • "Which is the most visited page on our website?"
    • "What is the conversion rate for our latest marketing campaign?"
    • "How many returning users did we have last week versus this week?"
    • "From which country do we receive the most traffic?"

    Currently, Maven AI is capable of delivering insights pertaining to Web Analytics and the Contacts Hub. However, with our imminent update, the ability to create tailored reports for Product Insights will be a part of its features.

    What's next:

    In the near future, you will have the opportunity to craft elegant charts and tailor-made dashboards harnessing the capabilities of Maven AI.

    We look forward for your feedback to shape this Maven AI even better. Hope you enjoy this update.
