Session Playback
HeatMaps
It helps the owner to check where the visitor clicked the most, it is helpful as it hints the owner about which element is clicked the most and how far the visitor visits the page. For instance, if the majority of the clicks are on the tool, it means that people are not scrolling down and it helps to understand why it has happened, why people are leaving the page. Clicks which are closer to the end of the article depicts the highly engaged reader.
Insights Dashboard
Microsoft Explained:
We provide a dashboard of aggregate metrics to help you get an overall understanding of the traffic on your site. At a glance you will be able to see how many users were clicking on non-existent links or how many people scrolled up and down a page in search of something they couldn’t readily find.
You can also see things like how many concurrent JavaScript errors are occurring across your clients or how much time the average user spends navigating your site.
