UXCam automatically stops and uploads a session when the app goes to the background. We recommend controlling the recording by using our API. Using this API you'll be able to stop a session and upload it at any moment. This will be counted as one session.

Using the API, you can stop the session at any moment.
Let’s imagine that your application is used in a restaurant and the users can place their orders there. It’s possible to base your choice on the screens they visit or events they complete. In this case, the Purchase completed screen can be considered the last one, and the Home or Menu screen can start another session. Alternatively, the Payment completed event can end the session and the Clicked on the menu event can start another one.
Is it possible to add an ID to each session?
Is it possible to add an ID to each session?
By default, each session has a unique ID. You can also send an ID as an event for each session. It can be, for instance, an Order ID that will help you track the session based on the actual order’s number
Can I send other session’s related information to UXCam?
Can I send other session’s related information to UXCam?
Sure, this is possible! You can send events and events' properties to UXCam to gather more insights into your users' behavior. It will help you to create valuable funnels, track each step of your users' journey and analyze their adoption of the new features. You can find more information about sending events here. Let's imagine that the users can buy clothes in your app. You can choose to send events related to the process, for instance:
You can attach several properties to each event. The property provides more details about the event.
Will it be possible to identify specific users?
Will it be possible to identify specific users?
When it comes to POS apps, as all the users use the same device, we’ll assign the same ID to all of them. However, if you want to differentiate users based on, for instance, their loyalty card number, you can send this information to UXCam as event and event property, for example:
Event: loyalty_card_number_entered
Event property: 1234EXAMPLE (different for each loyalty card)
This way you’ll be able to find sessions for specific users.
