Analyze the adoption of a feature

The charts included on the Feature Adoption Report template help you gain a deeper understanding of the customer behaviors linked to conversion and drop-off. There’s no setup required, though you can easily customize the template itself and the individual charts included with it if you need to.

The Feature Adoption Report template includes the following charts:

• How many unique users do Any Active Event each day?
• How many times does Any Active Event happen each day?
• What percentage of active users do Any Active Event each day?
• What percentage of unique users do Any Active Event for the first time each day?
• On average, how many times does each user do Any Active Event each day?
• On average, how many times does Any Active Event happen per session?
• How many times does each unique user do Any Active Event in 30 days?
• How many users return to do Any Active Event after their first time?

For a more detailed view into any of these questions, simply click the title of the chart you’re interested in.

Customize the Feature Adoption Report template

You can customize this or any template by first converting it into a dashboard. In Amplitude, templates and dashboards are related but distinct concepts. A dashboard is a single, convenient view of several related charts; you’d use a dashboard to share insights with other stakeholders in your Amplitude project. A template is a re-usable version of a dashboard; you’d use it to make other, similar dashboards, which you could then customize to meet the specific needs of a different project.

To turn the template into a dashboard, follow these steps:

1. From the dropdown in the upper left, select the Amplitude project you want this dashboard to track. If you want it to track the current project, just leave it as-is.
2. Under Events, select the events you want to use for the charts in this dashboard.

For example, if you’re interested in questions around feature discovery, select an event that signals successful feature usage. If you’re more interested in the value moment that results in a conversion, select an event that reflects the desired user behavior. For a streaming service, this might be Video Watched, while for an e-commerce company it might be Complete Purchase.

You don't have to supply an event for anything you aren't ready to track right now.

3. Click Save As Dashboard, give your new dashboard a name, and select a location to save it in. Then click Save.

Your dashboard is now ready to use.
