What are records?
Records are the profiles behind your website traffic. As people visit your site, Bigdelta creates and updates a user record for each of them automatically — no setup required. A user record holds everything you know about one visitor: where they came from, the pages they viewed, the events they triggered, and their session replays. Visitors are anonymous by default — their record contains only the information collected from their visits. If you choose to, you can identify users (for example, when they sign up or log in) to link their activity to a known email or user ID. Users are the main record type, but your workspace can hold others too, such as accounts for grouping users by company. You can also create custom objects for any data unique to your business. Clicking a user opens their profile, with tabs for:- Overview — key properties and recent activity at a glance
- Activities — the full timeline of their events and page views
- Replays — session recordings of their visits
- Details — every property on the record
