Data Autocapture

Automated Data Capture from your apps

Once you’ve added the Pyze SDK to your application, it will immediately start capturing numerous metrics without any further instrumentation. In addition to the Automated Metrics the SDK will also capture all user interaction with your application.

Pyze autocaptures the following types of interactions:

  • Clicks - User clicked on an element
  • Input Field Changes - User changed text within an input or textarea element
  • Page Views - User visited a page
  • Form Submissions - User submitted a form

Through the use of Event Aliasing you can turn these interactions into named events that will be available throughout all Pyze tools.
