Product Areas

Last Updated:

Product Areas allow you to label and group similar areas of your product for filtering and color-coding in data visualizations throughout Pendo. This helps you quickly look at behavior analytics and guidance for the parts of the product you're responsible for.

You can organize many items in Pendo by Product Area, including Pages, Features, Track Events, Guides, Ideas, and Feedback requests. Product Areas are applied subscription wide. Any changes to the elements in the Product Area impact everyone in the subscription. Each Pendo user has their own filters to show or hide Product Areas throughout Pendo as needed.

Tip: See Product Areas in Feedback for more information about assigning Feedback requests to Product Areas.

Requirements

  • Pendo Admin users can create, edit, and delete Product Areas
  • All users, except read-only, can reassign Product Areas

Create Product Areas

You can create a Product Area on the Product Areas page or from the Product Areas dropdown on Pages, Features, Guides, or Track Events pages.

  1. Navigate to Product > Product Areas in Pendo Engage, then select + Create Product Area In the top-right corner of the page.

Edit and delete Product Areas

After you create a Product Area, you can go back and adjust the settings as needed. To edit, select the Product Area dropdown on any page where you can filter by Product Area and select the Edit icon. Make your desired changes, then select Save Product Area.

Tip: You can use Product Areas in conjunction with stars. For example, you can see only the starred items from only Product Area A by selecting the Star filter and selecting Product Area A from the Product Areas dropdown menu.

If you need to delete a Product Area, select Delete Product Area. This removes the Product Area assignment from all Pendo items associated with it.
