You can identify a user with a user session only when the user fills out a form or selects a particular website. The system extracts the following types of personal information that can be associated with a session:
You can also use these fields in a different way — the "user" might be the account number of a customer, and "group" might be a policy number.
In the Session Browser, you can search for a user or group and compare the performance of these searches.
Here are some examples of common user and group extractions:
