      How to configure percentage-based session tracking

      Learn to set up session tracking, enabling organizers to measure attendee engagement by tracking time spent in each session. This guide covers enabling tracking, configuring frequency, and setting tracking durations for detailed insights.

      What is session tracking?

      Percentage-based session tracking provides a valuable tool for organizers to monitor and understand participant engagement by calculating the proportion of each session that attendees actually attend. Rather than simply marking presence or absence, this approach tracks the percentage of time each participant spends in a session relative to its total length, offering a detailed view of engagement levels.

      This granular data enables event organizers to see which sessions hold the most interest, helping them make data-driven decisions to optimize future content. By identifying which sessions capture attention fully versus those with lower engagement percentages, organizers can refine session topics, presentation styles, or speaker choices.


      Configure percentage-based session tracking


      1. Log in to the event backend as a super administrator.
      2. Navigate to Event Setup >> General tab >> Advanced Settings >> Webinar section.
      3. Toggle “Enable Percentage-based Session Tracking” to ON.
      4. In the “Session Tracking Frequency” text field, enter the desired session tracking frequency.
      5. Click the Update button to save the configurations




      6. Navigate to Sessions >> Sessions from the left-hand menu



      7. Click Add Session and, when entering session details, enter a value in the Tracking Duration field, then save or update the session.




      8. The vFairs custom timer object will start and, based on the Session Tracking Frequency, user tracking will be logged into the vFairs system.

       

      Notes:

      • The Session Tracking Frequency determines the percentage of time users spend on-screen relative to the session’s Tracking Duration. For example, if the Tracking Duration is set to 30 minutes and the Session Tracking Frequency is set to 5, a tracking record is logged every 1.5 minutes of session watch time.
      • The Tracking Duration value is required to initiate session tracking, as the vFairs custom timer object depends on it to start the tracking timer.
