User-usergroups

FieldExplanation

Devices

FieldExplanation
deviceIdIdentifier of a device.
appusedOn the device record that is registered, we keep multiple fields to identify the device, e.g. the operating system, the device model (device model or browser user agent), the type of device (web, browser, tablet, trackingPixel), and the app that was used.

If you use the gmail or chrome extension, Showpad would recognize a browser with a certain user agent. We have the app field that tells us which Showpad app was being used, e.g. Showpad for Gmail.

The app field was introduced somewhere mid-2016, so before that it is not filled in. Therefore, in case it is missing we just mention the type of device (tablet).

Possible values:
  • web: Showpad webapp is used (in the browser)
  • android: Android app is used
  • ios: iPhone or iPad app is used
  • windows: old legacy windows app
  • windows-wda: the legacy windows desktop app
  • windows-wda-2.0: new windows desktop app
  • app scv: Showcase Viewer, aka the share mini-website the recipient uses for viewing assets
  • outlook: Outlook plugin
  • gmail: Gmail plugin
  • tablet: we fall back to show the device "type" (tablet, browser, phone) in case the device did not send any app (exception fallback case).
  • dealroom: alternative name for Shared Spaces
  • Si-app: shares tab in front-end
  • Crm-app: SFDC app.
lastActiveUserIdLast user ID which logged on to this device. If the event is not related to a Showpad user, this field is NULL.
modelModel of the device (if available).
location(last) location of the device (if available).
typeThe mapping is based on model and app used. This is done to facilitate recreating identical reporting to that used in our Online Platform.

Possible values:
  • desktop
  • tablet
  • phone

Shares

titleTitle of the share.
typeType of the share.

recipientsList of recipients of the share. Typically recipient email address. If we don't have email but we have the name we store the name.

If data is anonymized you will see numerical values (hash value):
  • After x months data is anonymized according to account security settings.
  • When recipients don't give consent.
  • With reshares we are not allowed to store email addresses.
  • With the use of links this is often not filled in (since we have neither address nor name).
  • Marketo plugin and chrome extension are technically links but depending on the use case we sometimes have info. If we have info we store it here.

Assets

FieldExplanation
assetIdIdentifier of an asset.
originalAssetIdWhen adding an asset to a collection, a new asset is created in the background.
As long as the asset is unaltered from a content perspective, the originalAssetId will point to the original assetId it was based upon. This enables reports to group the asset analytics together, as the "different" assets are essentially the same from a business perspective.
When an asset is changed, the edited asset no longer has an originalAssetId that links it to the original ID, as the two are also from business perspective different.
divisionIdIdentifier of the division this asset belongs to.
displayNameName of the asset (included the extension).
statusStatus of the asset. During upload, an asset can have multiple statuses but to be used by a user it has to be "active". This can indicate, however, why a file is in the library but not used, i.e. it failed to process.

Possible values:
  • active - the file has finished processing and is available in the library.
  • inactive - file processing identified an issue with this file, and the user has canceled this file in the processing tab.
  • failed - file processing was unable to process the file.
  • processing - the file is being processed & optimized for various platforms.
  • queued - the file is in the queue, waiting to be processed.
  • prepared - the asset metadata is created and persisted, but the binary file has either not been uploaded yet or is waiting to be processed.

Important remarks
  • You can export details per page by setting the pageBased parameter to true. In that case, the events export will return an event for every page of a document, as well as an event for the whole document. Be mindful of this when aggregating the returned data. The event that refers to the whole document can be recognized by the page field which will display the value NULL.
  • The Reports section of our Online Platform automatically filters out data on deleted users, assets, user groups, etc. If you want the data returned by the events call to do the same, you can filter out the unwanted users, groups and assets by executing a filter based on the deletedAt field in the relevant tables.
  • Showpad apps also track events when offline, and send data to the server when back online. These events will have the original timestamp as the event timestamp. If you want to detect when the data was received by the server, use the loggedAt timestamp instead. Because of this, the exact same call with the exact same date/time may yield different results when executed at different points in time when using the startedAt and endedAt parameters.
