You are welcome. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Lee,

We hear you. I'll raise it with the devs.

Paul.

But why the random list of groups? Is this presenting a random list of groups to a player - so they can decide which one to try to join or something?

Paul Winterhalder

So - like GetPlayersSocialLeaderboard() - the app would provide the subset list of groups that they are interested in?

Should be simple enough to add. Curious though - what's your use case? How do the list of groups you want to see relate?

We agree with that @antony - we'll get that request to the devs.

Hi @antony - I'll send that one off to the devs and see how that would affect the implementation.

We'd likely make it a separate call - as that's a heavier operation that just returning your friends in relative order. That said - if you have to do it manually yourself that's a LOT heavier on the servers -- so I agree that this new call would be beneficial.

Stay tuned!

Hi folks,

FYI, here's one minor update regarding the Retention Analytics screen:

We have changed it to show Classic retention by default.

The reason for the change is that Rolling Retention naturally trends downward over the 30-day period of the report. That's simply due to mathematics. Rolling retention for a particular day measures whether the user returns that day - or any day thereafter. Thus - the days at the end of the calendar period have fewer days after them - and so the stat will naturally be lower.

We don't want folks to mistakenly think their retention is trending down - so we're now defaulting to Classic Retention which is more deterministic over the 30 day period. For those who wish to view the Rolling Retention - it's just a mouse click away!

Cheers!

Paul.

Right now the only valid value is "retention" - but obviously we've built that API with an eye to the future!

Well - the "owned custom entities" approach could come into play again if you want to view the matches across the system. Although owned custom entities are owned by players (and get deleted if a player account is deleted) - they are still queryable across the system... via API or the Portal (see App > Global > Global Data > Custom Entities ).

I hope that helps!

Oh - and I should note that you can retrieve the latest retention report - as well as the retention report for a specific start date...

https://docs.braincloudservers.com/api/capi/report/sysgetlatestreport

What we don't have right now is an API to list the reports that are generated and waiting for retrieval. We are working on that for a future patch.

Also note that we currently keep daily reports for 10 days - and weekly reports for 37 days.
