Browser vs. Mobile Apps in Experience Journey Map

The table below describes the differences in Experience Journey Map journeys and data for browser and mobile apps.

ComponentBrowser AppMobile App
End User Event

An end user event shows data for one browser page.

To customize end user event names in the UI, see Configure Page Identification and Naming.

An end user event shows data for one iOS view or Android activity.

To customize how the mobile agent reports the view/activity names via the SessionFrame API, see the following:

Hybrid agents (React Native and Xamarin) do not support individual screen tracking, which affects how Experience Journey Map displays events in a user journey. To ensure each screen is displayed in a user journey, we recommend using the SessionFrame API to define when a screen starts and ends. See documentation for each hybrid agent:

Default performance threshold metricPerformance thresholds (Slow, Very Slow, Stall, and Normal) are set to End User Response Time (EURT), or page load time.

Performance thresholds (Slow, Very Slow, Stall, and Normal) are set to the average time of mobile network requests.

Types of errors capturedJavaScript and AJAX errors.

Crashes and Application Not Responding (ANRs).

Analyze functionalityWhen you click Analyze, you are redirected to Browser RUM Analyze with filters applied for that mapped browser page.When you click Analyze, you are redirected to Mobile Sessions with filters applied for that mapped mobile view/activity.
Misc.

Iframes are captured and included as a node with performance metrics, such as for SPA2 base pages.

You may notice that sometimes the performance thresholds broken down by severity do not add up to 100%. See Analyze Traffic for an example. This is because for mobile apps, performance thresholds are set to an average of only the network request(s) triggered from a view/activity. If the number of triggered network requests is less than the number of total network requests, the performance threshold breakdown does not add up to 100%.
