September 2022 changelog

Monthly email summary

Radar users opted into summary emails will receive a monthly update that summarizes historical and present usage statistics. The monthly email includes the number of Users tracked, Events triggered, and API calls, grouped by month, for the previous 4 months.

With monthly email updates, you can analyze trends over time and confirm that your Radar implementation is working as intended. You'll also see Radar’s new emails template in all transactional emails, like import completions, account invites, and export downloads.

Dashboard reporting

The new Report page in the dashboard replaces the old Usage and Analytics pages by combining the project’s Trends, Permissions charts, and Trips metrics into a central location. All static reports now live on this page, making it easier for you to toggle between all of the out-of-the-box graphs that Radar provides for analysis.

Place matching updates

With place matching, you can link your POI data, such as store addresses, with Radar’s Places database to make sure your geofence coordinates and geometries are accurate and up-to-date over time.

Place matching now supports inputs for categories that geofences can match against, such as food-grocery and gas-station. Place matching with categories also incorporates fuzzy matching with place names to increase accuracy in dense areas with similar places such as retail stores in SoHo and hotels in Las Vegas.
