Stay Informed About Major Updates to Experiments in Sitecore Personalize

Sitecore Personalize improved the layout of how experiences and experiments are displayed in the portal to get an at-a-glance status of all experiences.

XM Cloud Forms – Interaction Analytics

Forms play a crucial role in any website, from gathering leads to providing interactive experiences. Keeping a close eye on forms is necessary to understand the user behavior. XM Cloud Forms dashboard now provides insights into the performance of forms by tracking:

• User views – number of times a form is viewed.
• Interactions – number of times a click interaction was recorded in the form.
• Submissions – number of times form was submitted

Although a welcoming feature, interactions are not useful for multi-step forms, where marketing professionals need to view the abandonment rate at each step. Also, there is a dependency on Google Analytics and similar tools to understand form conversion, which will still be needed for multi-step forms.
