AI Naming in Heatmap.com
AI naming is a powerful feature in Heatmap.com that automatically identifies and labels key elements on your website. This article explains how it works and how to use it effectively.
What is AI Naming?
AI naming uses a custom-built machine learning algorithm to analyze your website's structure and content and automatically assigns proper names to important elements like buttons, search bars, product tiles, and many others.
Benefits of AI Naming
- Saves time by eliminating manual labeling
- Ensures consistent naming across your site
- Improves accuracy of heatmap and user behavior analysis
Best Practices for Accurate AI Naming
To ensure the most accurate AI naming results:
1. Use standard best practices when building your website.
2. Implement proper naming conventions for your HTML elements.
3. Use appropriate HTML tags and elements for their intended purposes.
4. Provide descriptive IDs and classes for important elements.
Following these practices will significantly improve the AI's ability to correctly identify and name elements on your site.
Customizing AI-Generated Names
Customizing element names in your data table helps you organize and analyze your heatmap data more effectively. While AI naming is generally accurate, you can always adjust names if needed.
Here are the steps to update the element names:
1. Open Your Heatmap: Navigate to the heatmap page you want to modify.
2. Access the Data Table: Click on the "Data Table" button to view detailed analytics.
3. Locate the Element: Find the row containing the element you want to rename.
4. Click the Name Field: In the "Name" column, click on the current name of the element.
5. Edit the Name: A text input field will appear. Type in your desired new name.
6. Save Changes: Press Enter or click outside the field to save the new name.
7. Verify the Update: The data table will refresh, displaying the updated name.
Remember:
- Choose clear, descriptive names for easy identification
- Renamed elements will retain their new names in future sessions
- Changes only affect your view and do not alter the website's actual HTML
Customizing names can help you:
- Group similar elements together
- Identify specific areas of interest more quickly
- Create more meaningful reports
By renaming elements in your data table, you can tailor your heatmap analysis to your specific needs and make insights more accessible to your team.
