Abstract

Datadog Product Analytics automatically captures the clicks, taps, and other interactions users perform in your application. But when Action names don't map clearly to distinct user behaviors, funnels, pathways, and other analyses become harder to interpret.

In this course, you'll learn how Labeled Actions solve this problem as a no-code alternative to custom Actions. You'll use Datadog's Visual Labeler to create definitions that represent meaningful user behaviors, apply consistent names and tags, and choose whether a label applies to one page or several. You'll use Labeled Actions to clarify a funnel whose raw Action names obscure the user journey, making it clear enough to locate where users abandon the flow.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

  • Explain why product teams use Labeled Actions to turn autocaptured Actions into clearer analytical definitions.
  • Identify situations in which autocaptured Actions would benefit from a Labeled Action.
  • Create Labeled Actions with the Visual Labeler in Datadog.
  • Use Labeled Actions to make an existing funnel easier to understand.

Primary Audience

This course is designed for product managers, product analysts, and other members of product teams who use Datadog Product Analytics to understand user behavior. No coding experience is required.
