## User Experience Analytics (UXA)

UXA automatically captures detailed behavioral data from every user session to help understand how employees interact with the portal. This data is presented in a dedicated dashboard, allowing administrators to monitor engagement patterns, navigation paths, and exit points.

* **Captured Interactions:** Complete user sessions, page visits (including home and task pages), widget renders (e.g., Employee sidebar, org chart), and specific widget/page element selections.
* **Metrics Provided:** Total active users, new users, total sessions, average sessions per user, average pages per session, top visited pages, user retention, cohort analysis, conversion funnels, navigation paths, and anonymized session details such as duration and device usage.
* **Usage Insights:** Interaction data from both Employee Slate and EmployeeWorks Web App are surfaced within Usage Insights, enabling cross-product analysis.
* **Limitations:** Department and business unit filtering for UXA data is currently unavailable; however, advanced filtering may be accessible based on customer entitlements.

## Employee Communications Analytics

This feature tracks the performance of announcements published through EmployeeWorks Web App, enabling communications teams to measure content reach and engagement effectively.

* **Key Metrics:** Impressions (announcement views), clicks (engagement with announcement links), top-performing announcements, and detailed breakdowns over time.

## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

* Gain comprehensive visibility into employee interactions with your digital workspace, helping identify opportunities to improve navigation and content relevance.
* Measure the effectiveness of internal communications to enhance employee engagement and message targeting.
* Use cohort and funnel analyses to understand retention and workflow efficiencies within the employee experience.

Track user engagement, content performance, and AI assistant quality across the employee experience with built-in analytics tools.

## User experience analytics {#eslate-analytics-reporting__section-uxa}

Employee Slate includes User Experience Analytics (UXA) with no additional setup required. UXA captures behavioral data across every user session and surfaces it in a dedicated dashboard. Administrators and experience owners
use the dashboard to understand employee engagement patterns across the portal.

UXA automatically captures the following interactions:

* Every user session from start to end.
* Page visits, including the home page and Tasks and requests.
* Widget renders, for example, the Employee sidebar and org chart card.
* Selections on specific widgets and page elements, beyond standard page views.

{#eslate-analytics-reporting__ul_jjc_jhg_bjc}

The UXA Overview Dashboard visualizes how employees navigate EmployeeWorks Web App. Administrators use the dashboard to identify common navigation paths and exit points in the experience.

Employee Slate (built for Now Assist) and EmployeeWorks Web App are separate products, each with its own option in Usage Insights.

Interactions in either product, including button clicks, redirects, and widget selections, are captured and surfaced within Usage Insights.

EmployeeWorks Web App uses the same widget set available for any other application in Usage Insights.
