Basic funnel
The following steps demonstrate how to create a new funnel visual on a dataset Campaign. This dataset is based on data previously imported into CDP Data Visualization from a datafile. For an overview of shelves that specify this visual, see Shelves for funnels.
- Start a new visual based on dataset Campaign; see Creating a visual.
-
In the visuals menu, find and click Funnel.
-
Note that the shelves of the visual changed. These are:
- Time sorts events by the value of the timestamp.
- Session uses the unique identifier, such as user ID, to track the events of a session.
- Path specifies the series and order of the events; in this article, we use events that were previously defined in Events of the campaign dataset.
- Measure aggregates the measure that controls for the thickness of the 'flow' connections, such as Record Count.
- Filters selects for particular conditions.
- Top K selects the top N number of entries.
All shelves, except Filters and Top K, are mandatory. -
Populate the shelves from the available Fields:
-
Under Dimensions, select
timestamp
and place it on the Time shelf. -
Under Dimensions, select
user_id
and place it on the Session shelf. - Under Events, select Start and place it on the Path shelf. Similarly, add All non-purchase application events and Purchase, in that order.
-
Under Measurements, select
Record Count
and place it on the Measure shelf. - Leave Filters and Top K empty.
-
Under Dimensions, select
- Click Refresh Visual.
-
The funnel visual appears.
Note the highlighted path towards a purchase event, and the drop-off percentages on each segment: 39% for the first segment, and 60% for the second segment.
