Hi Aaron, Thanks so much for your good advice!
The approach you propose below makes good sense to me. For now, I have added it in the notes section of our Mingle ticket for the data collection: https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/305/edit?coming_from_version=28 Any suggestions for the best way to visualize the data once we have it? Are there some existing LIMN graphs that would be well-suited for a funnel analysis like this one? Or should we simply use a standard line graph as we do for other descriptive metrics studies? Thanks again for your helpful insights :) Fabrice On May 14, 2014, at 5:58 AM, Aaron Halfaker <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys, > > Here's how I'd do it. > > Assumption: Only logged-in users can start the UW funnel > > Schemas: > > UploadWizardStep > > Stored when the user loads a new step of the Upload Wizard > user_id : int -- The user's identifier > flow_initialized : str -- The timestamp at which the current flow through the > funnel began (will need to be stored in a cookie and reset at loads of step 1) > step : int -- 1 - 4 of the UW process > UploadWizardRightsSelection > > Stored when the user selects a "rights" option. > user_id : int -- The user's identifier > flow_initialized : str -- The timestamp at which the current flow through the > funnel began (will need to be stored in a cookie and reset at loads of step 1) > rights_selected : enum("own", "other) -- The rights that a user selected > (note that multiple selections actions can take place for a single flow) > I'd make a pass over the DB, to identify the last RightsSelection for each > flow_initialization (if any) to figure out what an uploading user settled on > during a particular flow.
