Clicked Element Filters

Clicked Element Filters allow you to analyze user behavior by filtering session data based on specific elements on your website or application.

By applying this filter, you can:

  • Understand user intent: Gain insights into why users click or do not click certain elements and understand their navigation patterns.

  • Troubleshoot issues: Identify broken or unresponsive elements that users frequently attempt to interact with.

  • Perform A/B testing: Compare the number of users that clicked on a button vs another to understand what works better with your users and make design decisions accordingly

You can use the text of a clicked element or its ID or CSS selector to filter the data.
