Implementing Group Analytics on Unity SDK

Hi @cherise 

My idea is to implement Group Analytics in a Unity project but I couldn't find any documentation. In any case I´ll post it in the Partners Group which I did´t know! 

Hello @cherise, @ivanmuniz,

Currently I’m struggling to use group with Segment. 

But may be I can help, @ivanmuniz. Can you write here your issues?

I don’t have Unity experience but can help you with the other questions. Group Analytics gives you the ability to create other types of profiles instead of just user profiles. Its really powerful when your users are tied to a formal group such as a team, company, organization, project or environment.

You can then define properties on the group, using a team as an example, you can give it a team name, team size, etc much like you could with a user profile.  Often times you may have data in other systems inaccessible by your application, this allows you to define and shape these profiles outside of your application.   

Another big feature is that you can analyze Uniques by groups instead of  just users.  Using “team” again as an example, you can answer the total number of teams that performed an action.  So without groups you could use an Insight report and break down by team name to get a total count of teams.  The advantages to groups is that you will be able to see more than 10,000 teams, you will be able create line graph showing number of team over time, and you’ll be able to create total team count dashboard.  Retention reporting can report retention by “teams” instead of just users.

As far as corhorts go, I’ve found I can typically build the same cohorts using a user cohort vs a group cohort. There’s generally not much benefit unless your group has a profile property that isn’t tracked on the event. 

If your reporting on uniques you can only use cohort of the same type. You cannot report on uniques by users and use a group cohort. Which is likely the main reason you may need to create a cohort of a certain type.
