The Interaction Log captures every key stroke and click made by the user during a form. This comprehensive data can be used to extract information often including (but not limited to).

  • If users successfully complete or drop off part way through a form
  • The point during a form at which users a dropping off
  • How long it takes users to complete questions, pages or the entire form.
  • The path a user takes through a form, for example do they take a logical forward path or do they go back and forwards to change or review answers.
  • If users save and resume the form at a later date
