Summary

The User Behavior dashboard, a component of PubNub Insights, provides a detailed analysis of user engagement with applications by showing how long users stay connected to channels over time. This tool is especially useful for applications such as In-App Chat, Live Events, Geolocation and Dispatch, and IoT Device Control, offering insights into user behavior and allowing developers to identify popular content and areas needing improvement. By tracking average user duration and unique users by duration timeframe, the dashboard helps in understanding user connectivity patterns and potential issues, such as malfunctioning IoT devices or unexpected drops in user engagement. Additionally, a feature for identifying the top 20 channels by user duration enables developers to focus on specific channels contributing significantly to user engagement, facilitating targeted enhancements and reducing churn by focusing on valuable features. The dashboard is available to Insights Premium customers and supports tailoring engagement strategies based on the detailed user data it aggregates, ultimately aiding in resource allocation and feature optimization.
