Session Flow

The Session Flow feature in APEX Project Eye provides detailed tracking and visualization of how users navigate through your Oracle APEX applications. This powerful tool goes beyond theoretical navigation paths to show actual user journeys, enabling developers to understand real usage patterns, troubleshoot issues, and optimize user experiences based on empirical data.

Key Benefits

• User Journey Tracking: See exactly how users move through your application
• Issue Reproduction: Replay user sessions to reproduce and diagnose problems
• UX Optimization: Identify common pathways and optimize high-traffic flows
• Performance Analysis: Pinpoint slow-loading pages in actual user contexts
• User Support: Provide better assistance by understanding user actions

Session Visualization and Replay

Explore user sessions with interactive visualizations:

• Flow Diagram: See the sequence of pages visited during a session
• Timeline View: Track session activity chronologically
• Session Selection: Filter and select specific sessions to analyze
• Step-by-Step Replay: Move through the session one page at a time
• Visual Indicators: Quickly identify errors, slow pages, and other points of interest

The session flow diagram shows how users navigate through your application
