Difference between userevent and useraction in USQL

Hi Everyone,

What's the diference between userevent.page and useraction.name? 

I was making some Funnel charts and then I realized something when executing some query: 

This is a Funnel using userevent.page statement:

On the other hand, this is another Funnel but using useraction.name statement:

Could you help me understanding the function of each statement? 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

In general, the difference between an action and an event is their context of occurrence. Both indicate state changes. But an action results from the execution of a function, while an event does not necessarily have to. Hence, an event may occur spontaneously. In Dynatrace user action name constructs a name also based on User event type, for example, click on..., loading of page..., or keypress on...

Hi @radek_jasinski ,

Thank you for your response. I understand now the difference. So, what would be recommendable at the moment of creating a Funnel chart, to use userevent or useraction?

I recommend useraction.name 🙂
