Group events and page views into categories

[willbenica]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

User tasks can be categorised into certain groups or page views and events. Posthog doesn't allow us to group these into one category at the moment, e.g. administrative tasks like adding a new user to the system take place on a certain page with certain events. Being able to quickly find all events and pages that are in this group would help organise the list of pages and events as well as run analytics on these groups. Which users performed admin tasks - could lead to a cohort (admins). Which sessions were admin focused - shows users who seem to only administer the system, but don't use it otherwise.

Describe the solution you'd like

• when creating actions, allow for a group / category field
• use categories as a filter on the actions page
• when looking at sessions categorise events based on stored categories
• allow for analytics to be run based on categories

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Adding categories to the names of actions (currently what I'm doing)

Additional context

Posthog tracks (almost) every event that a user performs within the product. This is a flood of information. Being able to group, would allow me to step back a level. Especially when verifying my assumptions. This would also help find specific actions after defining a large number, first filter on category, then find the action.

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!

Right back at you - Posthog team.
