Patterns for visualizing custom data

You can instrument your IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation V7.1.0 applications to collect and visualize analytics data, so you can continuously understand application usage and target improvements.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you are familiar with the WL.Analytics API and Operational analytics.

Patterns

When you develop mobile applications, you can track key actions over time that can provide useful insight. The following patterns explain how to track various interesting data points and chart them in different ways.

Many visualizations can be created following two patterns. The first pattern involves recording and sending information as it gets created. For example, a user completes a registration form. The second pattern involves accumulating and calculating information on the client-side before you call the analytics API to record and send that information to the server. For example, the amount of time that is elapsed between two actions.
