Create a custom chart for average session duration

The duration of an app session is a valuable metric to visualize. With any app, we want to know the amount of time that users are spending on a particular session.

We can create a custom chart to view this type of information. To view average session duration in a custom chart, follow these steps.


Procedure

  1. Ensure that you are collecting app sessions as described in Initializing your app to capture app usage.
  2. In the MobileFirst Analytics Console, click Create Chart in the Custom Charts page of the Dashboard section.
  3. Give your chart a title.
  4. Select App Session for Event Type.
  5. Select Bar Graph for Chart Type.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select Timeline for X-Axis.
  8. Select Average for Y-Axis.
  9. Select Duration for Property.
  10. Click Save.


Results

A bar graph is created that displays average app session duration over time. We can enhance this chart by adding a threshold or chart filters. For more information, see Custom charts.
