Cohorts

Overview

This topic explains how to use the product analytics Cohorts tab, and what information that tab contains. A cohort is a group of users you create to track their activity in different parts of your product.

You can also use this tab to create new cohorts.

The Cohorts tab

The Cohorts tab is displayed with multiple columns. You can search by typing in the box to find a specific cohort.

  • Last modified: Shows how recently the contents of this cohort changed.
  • Created by: Shows who from your LaunchDarkly account created this cohort.

Click the three-dot overflow menu to perform actions on a specific cohort:

  • Create chart with cohort: Shows the cohort on a graph.
  • Share link to cohort: Copies a link to that cohort to your clipboard.
  • Download cohort as CSV: Exports the cohort as a CSV and downloads it to your device.
  • Edit cohort: Lets you change the cohort.
  • Duplicate cohort: Creates a new cohort with the same settings as the cohort you clicked.
  • Archive cohort: Removes cohort from the tab and stores its information and settings.
