kapa.ai what timezone is shown when I look at user actions?
The timezone shown when you look at user actions in Mixpanel depends on your project's timezone settings. Here are the key points to understand:1. By default, Mixpanel sets your project timezone to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).2. Project owners and admins can change the project timezone in the Project Settings.3. All dates and times in Mixpanel reports reflect the project timezone.4. Changing the timezone only affects how Mixpanel displays results, not the underlying data storage.It's important to note that for projects created before January 1, 2023, Mixpanel converted event timestamps to the project timezone before writing the event to data stores. For projects created after that date, Mixpanel records all events in UTC at intake and then uses the project timezone setting to output results in the selected timezone.You can check and change your project's timezone by following these steps:1. Go to Project Settings 2. In the Overview section, look for the Timezone field 3. Click the pencil icon next to the Timezone field to display a list of timezones 4. Select your desired timezone and click SaveFor more detailed information on managing timezones for projects, you can refer to the Managing Projects documentation.

it's not UTC For eg: one event shows 11pm Dec 17 in mixpanel when I've done the event on 12:30 pm Dec 18 IST? kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
Based on the information you've provided, it seems that your Mixpanel project timezone might be set to a different timezone than you expected. Let's clarify this situation:1. Project Timezone Setting: Your project timezone is likely set to a timezone that is 1 hour and 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time (IST). This could be the timezone for Afghanistan (UTC+4:30) or Iran (UTC+3:30), depending on the time of year due to daylight saving time changes.2. Time Conversion: The event you performed at 12:30 PM IST is showing as 11:00 PM in Mixpanel, which indicates a 13.5-hour difference. This suggests that your project timezone might be set to US Pacific Time (UTC-8 or UTC-7 during daylight saving time).To resolve this discrepancy and ensure your Mixpanel project displays the correct time for your events, you should adjust your project's timezone settings. Here's how you can do that:1. Go to your Project Settings. 2. In the Overview section, find the Timezone field. 3. Click the pencil icon next to the Timezone field to display a list of timezones. 4. Select the correct timezone for your project (in this case, you might want to choose "Asia/Kolkata" for IST). 5. Click Save to apply the changes.After making this change, the event times in Mixpanel should align with the actual times when the events occurred in your local time (IST).For more detailed information on managing timezones for projects, you can refer to the Managing Projects documentation.If you continue to see discrepancies after adjusting the timezone, or if you're unable to change the timezone settings, I recommend reaching out to Mixpanel's support team for further assistance.

Based on the information you've provided, it appears that your Mixpanel project timezone is set to a timezone that is significantly different from Indian Standard Time (IST). Let's break down the situation:1. Time Difference: The event you performed at 12:30 PM on December 18 IST is showing as 11:00 PM on December 17 in Mixpanel. This indicates a 13.5-hour difference.2. Date Difference: The date in Mixpanel is one day behind the actual date when you performed the event.This suggests that your Mixpanel project timezone is likely set to US Pacific Time (PST/PDT), which is UTC-8 or UTC-7 depending on daylight saving time.To resolve this discrepancy and ensure your Mixpanel project displays the correct time and date for your events, you should adjust your project's timezone settings. Here's how you can do that:1. Go to your Project Settings. 2. In the Overview section, find the Timezone field. 3. Click the pencil icon next to the Timezone field to display a list of timezones. 4. Select the correct timezone for your project (in this case, choose "Asia/Kolkata" for IST). 5. Click Save to apply the changes.After making this change, the event times and dates in Mixpanel should align with the actual times when the events occurred in your local time (IST).It's important to note that changing the timezone only affects how Mixpanel displays results, not the underlying data storage. As mentioned in the Managing Projects documentation, "Changing the timezone for any project under Project Settings only affects the timezone in which Mixpanel outputs results."If you continue to see discrepancies after adjusting the timezone, or if you're unable to change the timezone settings, I recommend reaching out to Mixpanel's support team for further assistance.

kapa.ai can I export more than 100 events to a csv file?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
Yes, you can export more than 100 events to a CSV file from Mixpanel. However, there are some limitations and methods to consider:1. CSV Export via UI:
When exporting events as a CSV file through the Mixpanel user interface, there is a limitation. According to the Export Methods documentation, "Only the events visible in the Events table at the time of your export will be included in the CSV. Scroll down and click "Load More" to make more events visible."2. Raw Event Export API:
For exporting a larger number of events, you can use the Raw Event Export API. This method allows you to export up to 100,000 events per request. As stated in the Event Export API documentation, you can use the limit
parameter: "Use this parameter if you want to limit the max number of events to be returned. Value cannot be over 100000."3. Rate Limits:
Keep in mind that there are rate limits for the Raw Data Export API. According to the Rate Limits documentation, "The Raw Data Export API imposes a maximum of 100 concurrent queries, 60 queries per hour, and 3 queries per second."4. Programmatic Export:
For more flexibility in exporting large amounts of data, you can use the Mixpanel Utils library. The mixpanel-utils documentation provides examples of how to export events programmatically, which can be useful for handling larger datasets.If you need to export a very large number of events, you might need to make multiple API calls or consider using Mixpanel's Data Pipelines feature for continuous data export to your data warehouse.For the most up-to-date and detailed information on exporting large volumes of data, I recommend checking the Export Methods documentation or contacting Mixpanel support directly.

what does the 'Segment at Step 1, 2, 3...' mean in funnels? kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
The "Segment at Step 1, 2, 3..." feature in Mixpanel's Funnels report is related to the Property Attribution functionality. This feature allows you to control when a property value is locked in for all steps of your funnel. Here's what it means and how it works:1. Property Attribution: When you filter or breakdown a funnel by a property, you can choose at which step the property value should be determined. This is important because event property values can change from step to step in your funnel.2. Step Selection: By clicking on "Step 1" (or whichever step is currently selected), you can choose either "Last Step Defined", "First Step Defined", or a specific step number.3. Significance: - If you select a specific step (e.g., "Step 1", "Step 2", etc.), the property value from that step will be attributed to the whole funnel. This means you may see an "undefined" null value for the property if it wasn't defined at that specific step. - "First Step Defined" attributes the first non-null property value to the whole funnel. - "Last Step Defined" attributes the last non-null property value to the whole funnel.4. Use Case Example: As mentioned in the Property Attribution documentation: "For example, the user viewing your website encounters an error and sends in a support ticket to your business. On First Step Defined they may have been using Safari as their browser, and used Safari to send in the support ticket at Last Step Defined, but they were using Chrome when they triggered an error-state. It is relevant for your business to know that they triggered an error on the Chrome browser and not Safari, in order to assist them in fixing the error."5. Impact on Analysis: This feature allows you to analyze how property values at different stages of the funnel affect overall conversion, giving you more flexibility in understanding user behavior and optimizing your funnel performance.Remember, the choice of which step to attribute properties from depends on your specific analysis needs and the nature of your funnel. It's a powerful tool for gaining more nuanced insights into user behavior across your funnel steps.

kapa.ai give me a simpler explanation for what this feature is
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
Certainly! I'll provide a simpler explanation of the "Segment at Step 1, 2, 3..." feature in Mixpanel's Funnels report.This feature is essentially a way to choose which step of your funnel you want to use for analyzing user properties or characteristics.Here's a simple breakdown:1. In a funnel, users might have different characteristics (properties) at each step. 2. The "Segment at Step" feature lets you pick which step's properties you want to look at for your entire funnel analysis. 3. You can choose: - A specific step (like Step 1, Step 2, etc.) - The first step where the property appears - The last step where the property appearsFor example, imagine you're analyzing a purchase funnel and want to look at which device users are on. A user might start on their phone (Step 1) but finish the purchase on their laptop (Step 3). This feature lets you decide whether you want to analyze based on the device they started with, ended with, or used at any specific step.This helps you understand how user characteristics at different points in your funnel might affect their overall journey through it.Mixpanel's Funnels documentation provides more details on this feature if you need further information.

kapa.ai to calculate for the average session duration, do I calculate with App Session, Session Start or Session End
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
To calculate the average session duration in Mixpanel, you should use the "Session Duration (Seconds)" property associated with the Session Start or Session End events. Here's how you can do it:1. Use Session Start or Session End events: Both "Session Start" and "Session End" events have the "Session Duration (Seconds)" property, which represents the duration of the session in seconds.2. Calculate average: You can use Mixpanel's Insights report to calculate the average session duration. Here's a simple way to do it: - Select either "Session Start" or "Session End" event - Choose the "Average" aggregation for the "Session Duration (Seconds)" property3. Convert to minutes (optional): If you want to display the result in minutes instead of seconds, you can use Mixpanel's formula feature to divide the result by 60.This approach is confirmed in the Sessions FAQ documentation, which states:"You can do so using the "Session Duration (seconds)" property associated with our Session Start/End events, which would measure the Session Duration in Seconds. To change it from seconds to minutes, you can use our formula and divide it by 60."The documentation also provides an example report link for finding the average session duration across all users: https://mixpanel.com/s/3rXLmTIt's important to note that you should not use the "App Session" event for this calculation, as it's part of the legacy automatically tracked events and may not provide accurate session duration data.For more detailed analysis, such as average session duration per user, you can refer to the additional examples provided in the FAQ section of the Sessions documentation.

kapa.ai So should I use the Aggregate option or Aggregate by User option for the accurate result?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! đź“š
To get the most accurate result for average session duration, you should use the "Aggregate Property" option rather than the "Aggregate Property per User" option. Here's why:1. Aggregate Property: This option will calculate the average session duration across all sessions, giving you an overall view of how long sessions typically last across your entire user base.2. Aggregate Property per User: This option would first calculate an average for each user, then average those averages, which could skew your results if some users have very long or very short average session times.According to the Mixpanel Insights documentation, the "Aggregate Property" option with "Average" selected will give you:"Average of a numeric property value across all instances of [event]. Example: What's the average number of minutes per video watched?"In your case, this translates to: "What's the average duration of all sessions?"To set this up in Mixpanel:1. Select either "Session Start" or "Session End" event 2. Choose "Aggregate Property" as your measurement 3. Select "Average" as the aggregation type 4. Choose the "Session Duration (seconds)" propertyIf you want to convert the result from seconds to minutes, you can use a formula to divide by 60.This approach aligns with the example provided in the Sessions FAQ, which suggests using the "Session Duration (seconds)" property associated with Session Start/End events to measure session duration.Remember, if you need to analyze session duration from different angles (e.g., per user, distribution across users), you might want to use other aggregation options or create multiple reports. But for a straightforward average session duration, the "Aggregate Property" option with "Average" selected is the most appropriate choice.
