Guide Details
How did your Guide perform?
- Health score: The Health Score indicates how far your users progressed through the Guide.
- Failure rate: It's the percentage of users that left a Guide due to an error, in ratio to all users that started the Guide.
ℹ️ Health Score = [Number of times the Guide was completed / (Number of times the Guide was started - Number of times the Guide was exited on the first step)]
The score ranges from 0 to 100 where a 100 means all users are completing the Guide. It is important to note that users can still be receiving value from Guides even if they are not completing them. See this article for scenarios where this may be the case.
- Guide started: The number of times this Guide was started. It could include the same user multiple times if they started the guide more than once.
- Unique Guide started: The number of users who started this Guide. Each user will only be counted once towards this number.
How did specific Guide steps perform?
Evaluate the performance of each step within your Guide.
- Step shown: The number of times this step was shown to your users.
- Users: Number of users that saw this step.
- Exit rate: Intentional exits / Step shown
- From previous/next steps: Explains if the step was shown due to users coming from previous steps or if they went back to it from the following steps.
- Skips: Number of times the optional step was skipped.
- Intentional exits: Number of times the step was intentionally exited (close button or escape key).
- Errors: Number of times this step was not found and the error pop-up was shown.
- (total) Error exits: Number of times users exited the Guide from the error pop-up.
- Error rate: Errors / (Errors + Skips + Shown)
If the error rate is low, there is likely no cause for concern as it is entirely possible the user simply had technical difficulties on their end, such as a lost internet connection. Otherwise, it could be that Userlane was unable to find the element on the page for this step.
