Hi guys,

When we log user action; after a specific action, we'd like to know what the most chosen option after that is. So say for example: we register 'SessionStart' and following that we have different options: 'Search' , 'Play' , 'Browse' or 'SessionEnd'. (Real data has a lot more options) The 'actions' are all in the same term.field and based on timestamp

How can I find out what the most chosen 'first' option is following the 'SessionStart'?

How do you link the two events?

Hi,

if I got it well, a mere count on your term.field (not analysed) (Y-metric) splitted by terms on your term.field (X-bucket) the should do the trick.
