Your chart can include from five to fifty steps.

If desired, adjust the number of steps displayed in your Pathfinder chart by clicking the + button next to Steps.

You can also include specific events, by selecting Only Show Specific Events from the same drop-down menu. To apply these exclusionary settings to all charts in a project, edit the 'Visibility' event from the Govern page. NOTE: This approach will exclude events for the chart you are working on only. You can either tell Amplitude to remove specific noisy events from the chart entirely, or you can tell Amplitude to collapse repeated, consecutive steps into a single node.

To exclude certain events from appearing in your Pathfinder chart, select Hide Noisy Events from the Filter Events drop-down.

In other words, if the percentage of users who took a particular path is lower than the bucket below threshold, Amplitude will not display that path.Īmplitude will collapse any nodes that fall below your bucket below threshold into a single node, labeled Other. This threshold sets a lower boundary for node visibility in your chart.

In the chart module, set your preferred bucket below threshold.

To do so, click + Performed, then choose the event you’re interested in.

You can narrow your focus even further by telling Amplitude you only want to include users who have already performed certain actions.

To do so, click + Filter by, choose the property you want to include, and specify the property value you’re interested in.

If you do not want to import a previously-saved user segment, you can start building your own by adding properties.

Otherwise, Amplitude begins from the assumption that your analysis will target all users. You can import a previously-saved segment by clicking Saved and selecting the one you want from the list.

In the Segmentation Module, identify the user segment you want to include in this analysis.

In this example, the Pathfinder chart displays results broken out by values for the country property of the Search Song or Video event. With each of these options, you are telling Amplitude to take that event and apply a group-by condition, based on the values of the property you selected.

Excluding certain events by specific property values (for example, exclude page viewed where page =, , or ).

Breaking out your results by the properties of a specific event or.

Filtering by sessions that include a specific event, or a specific event / property pairing.

If desired, narrow the focus of your Pathfinder chart results by:.

If desired, add properties to your starting event by clicking on + Filter by, selecting the property name, and specifying the property value you’re interested in.

Unlike many other Amplitude charts, Pathfinder requires you to choose a specific event that is instrumented in Amplitude choosing Any Event is not supported.

Select the starting (or ending) event.

To view the events users take before a given event, select ending with from the Paths within sessions dropdown menu.

To view the actions or events users take after a given event, select starting with from the Paths within sessions dropdown menu.

In the Events Module, decide whether you want your path to start with a specific event, or end with one:.

To build your own Pathfinder chart, follow these steps: If you don't, your product's path views won't be accurate. This means that if you're sending Amplitude events via the HTTP API or through another pipeline, you must send a session_id with the event. You should also keep in mind that all paths in Pathfinder are tracked in individual sessions. You'll also want to read up on session IDs and how Amplitude tracks sessions, where you'll also find instructions on setting custom session properties. You should also familiarize yourself with our helpful list of Amplitude definitions. Before you beginīe sure to read our article on building charts in Amplitude, as this is where you'll learn the basics of Amplitude's user interface. We recommend using Pathfinder to see the top common paths users can take to conversion, then use this information to build out your funnel chart.

You can view both outgoing and incoming paths to a specified event, and Pathfinder will show you paths of up to fifty steps in depth. Pathfinder shows all the events (also called nodes) users fire in your product, and the sequences of those events (also called paths) that users take during a specified time, measured by event totals.
