About Coveo for Salesforce Usage Analytics

Salesforce Ecommerce Service Workplace Developer System Administrator Product Documentation

By installing Coveo for Salesforce, you have access to your own Coveo organization, where you can access the Usage Analytics coming from your Coveo components.

Coveo components can send search and custom events to the Coveo Usage Analytics (Coveo UA) service so that you can track what end users do with your search components.

Accessing Usage Analytics Reports

You can review your usage analytics data by accessing your Coveo (platform-ca platform-eu platform-au) organization.

In the Analytics section, select

  • Reports: For an overview of all your analytics, in graph and chart form.

  • Visit Browser: For a detailed description of all events for each visit.

For more information on how to navigate and understand Coveo UA, see Coveo Usage Analytics Overview.

About Usage Analytics Events

A usage analytics event is any user interaction with a search page, including search, click, and custom events (see Usage Analytics Events).

The act of recording a search event relies on two elements: the Cause and the Dimensions.

  • A Cause has name and a type. It’s itself a Dimension.

    An example of a cause would be interfaceLoad or facetSelect.

  • A Dimension is a grouping of metadata key-value pairs principally exploited within the dashboards, reports, and explorers within the Coveo UA pages.

    For examples of Dimensions, see Usage Analytics Dimensions.

Sending Custom Events

To learn how to send custom usage analytics events, see Sending Context Information in Salesforce Lightning.
