To build an effective signup and signin dashboard in Mixpanel that reports on feature usage and adoption while comparing first-time vs. returning users, I recommend the following approach:
1. Start with a Template
Mixpanel offers ready-made templates that can give you a head start. The Company KPIs Dashboard template is particularly useful as it provides nine out-of-the-box, customizable reports for measuring engagement, retention, and growth metrics.Introducing Mixpanel's Company KPIs Dashboard template can help you quickly set up reports that answer questions like: - How many users are experiencing value in your product? - Who are your most engaged users? - How many of your engaged users come back?
2. Track Key Events
Ensure you're tracking the right events for signup and signin. At minimum, you'll need: LBKS// For signup events mixpanel.track('Sign Up', { 'Signup Type': 'Referral' })LBKS// For signin events mixpanel.track('Sign In', { 'Device Type': 'Mobile' })LBKSYou can add additional properties to these events to enable more detailed analysis later.
3. Create Line Charts for Feature Usage
For tracking feature usage over time with line charts: 1. Go to the Insights report 2. Select the feature-related events you want to track 3. Choose "Line" as your visualization 4. Set the appropriate time range 5. Add a breakdown by "First Time User" vs "Returning User" to compare these segments
4. Compare First-Time vs. Returning Users
To effectively analyze first-time vs. returning users: 1. Use Mixpanel's segmentation capabilities to create these user cohorts 2. As explained in Tracking First Time Users, you can gain valuable insights by separating these user groups to understand: - How first-time users convert through sign-up - What is first-time versus returning user retention - What traffic sources your first-time users come from
5. Measure Feature Adoption
For measuring feature adoption: 1. Use the Impact report to measure the effect of feature launches on your KPIs 2. The Impact report shows how the rate of metric event occurrence changes over time and calculates adoption rates 3. This will help you understand the percentage of users adopting new features and how it affects their behavior
6. Organize Your Dashboard
When building your dashboard: 1. Group related metrics together 2. Add descriptive text cards to explain what each chart represents 3. Consider using the "View Users" feature to explore specific users contributing to metrics or points on chartsBy following these steps, you'll create a comprehensive dashboard that provides insights into signup/signin patterns and feature adoption while clearly distinguishing between first-time and returning users.
