User activity and reporting

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi there,

I’m wondering if there is any additional user activity reporting available in Anvil in addition to the Users table?

I am wanting to put together some reports on how my users are engaging with my application including login timestamps, number of times they triggered a particular event and general session duration.

I know in the Users table I can retrieve information such as the last login but I want to be able to go back in time and look at their login history over a period of say, 1 month. I’m assuming something already exists in this space so I thought I’d ask before going off an building an audit table into my application.

Thanks in advance

With anvil, the only way to do this is to log this data manually for every session.

Otherwise, you can connect your Anvil App with tools like Google Analytics to get such data.

Welcome to the forum!

One of the tools you can integrate with is https://posthog.com/ . It takes some work, but you can get some great insights about user activity. They’ve got a great free tier.

Thanks for your response, I’ll take a look at Google Analytics and other out of the box options.
