App usage can be tracked in a few different ways:
Hereโs an example of an app that is specifically using a couple Actions to track clicks on links in an app.
Every time a row is selected a โGrouped Actionโ runs two actions:
You can test the functionality live with this app and see the link click count increase
Hi Peter,
I want to track how many times a particular action button in my app has been clicked.
Referring to option 3 in your original list of suggestions, when I use the Grouped Actions option, do not see โLog Clickโ as an option. I do not even see any data related operation.
Any ideas?
This might help. You need to look at a changecounter type column
Hi Simon,
I looked the link you gave, the changecounter type column only triggers/increments when a row changes. In my case, nothing is changing; user is just clicking on an action button.
I would have thought the options under grouped action set would have allowed me to increment a counter manually (or modify a row to trigger changecounter type column to increment), but I donโt see any such option as you can see in the screenshot I pasted earlier.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Hassan
I realized my mistake: LogClick action obviously had to be created first as its a custom action Peter mentioned as an example.
But when I create this โgroupedโ action to execute the sequence of action, the action button for the group action just does not show up on my detail view. Any inputs on that?
Hi Hassan - I would make sure you set your โgroupedโ action to โDisplay overlayโ or โDisplay prominentlyโ (and make sure that action is associated with the connected table you want it to appear with).
I would also make sure youโve set the โOpen URLโ and โLog Clickโ actions as โDo not displayโ.
