Analytics

The Analytics plugin is specifically designed to implement additional analytics aside from the built-in analytics in the PlayFab service, for games built using Construct 3 and Construct 2.


The main features of the analytics plugin include title events (global game events), player events and device information reporting.


The full outcome results of the analytics data is shown in the Analytics Dashboard of the PlayFab Console, with various tools to monitor all tracking events.


You can also use this alongside other PlayFab plugins and platform specific analytics plugins from other mobile, web and desktop plugins.

Analytics Usage


PlayFab Analytics is built-in the PlayFab SDK, most requests in the PlayFab Master Collection have their own tracking information and events. Although, the Analytics plugin extends that into allowing you to create your own customized tracking for your projects. There are many ways to preview and utilize the analytics data, however the basics that will get you started is very straightforward and quick to look up. Please proceed below to see the steps on how to quickly utilize the PlayFab Analytics feature.


Step 1 : Login into your PlayFab account. Select a game from a studio.

Step 2 : From the Dashboard, it will initially show the analytics overview. This will show the basic analytics data.



Step 3 : From the Dashboard, select the "PlayStream Monitor" tab, then you can monitor the events happening in your current title.



Step 4 : Finally, to monitor your your main analytics data, select the Analytics Dashboard's menu option.



There are various options here to monitor tracking, so at best, explore all of them.

That covers the basic of analytics. If you need more learning resources, we highly recommend reading Microsoft PlayFab's own documentation regarding analytics.
