What is a screen within my app?
A screen represents a distinct step in your user's journey within your app. It’s defined by views that share a similar interface layout. For example, in a delivery app, there could be several key screens such as:
Each screen serves a unique function and captures a different part of the user’s experience.
How can I use screens in UXCam?
By segmenting the user journey into screen visits, you can analyze user behavior at a granular level. Well-completed screen tagging allows you to leverage screens as events in conversion and retention analytics. With quantitative user experience insights by screen, you can understand the ‘Why’ behind
the numbers through screen replays and heatmaps.
How does UXCam tag screens?
Native iOS, SwiftUI, Android, and Flutter: Screens are automatically tagged by UXCam. However, it’s important to review and confirm that these tags are accurate to ensure the quality of your data.
JetPack Compose, React Native: Manual tagging of screens is required. Your development team needs to add a single line of code at the point where a screen starts. Learn more here.
How can I check if my screens are well-tagged?
To maximize the effectiveness of UXCam’s analytics, we recommend the following steps:
Integrate the SDK in your debug app to test the tagging functionality.
Record several sessions to gather initial data on-screen interactions.
Use UXCam’s ‘Screens’ feature to view replays and heatmaps of your screens. If you spot any inconsistencies or unexpected screen behavior, you can manually tag screens to make the necessary adjustments.
For example:
If your “Home Screen” is well tagged, but screenshots from the product and success screens are incorrectly flagged as the "Home Screen," it’s important to manually adjust the tags to ensure they reflect the correct screen views.
By properly tagging your screens, you ensure that the data you gather will provide valuable insights, enabling you to optimize user experience and app performance.
