#Radial Flows
Radial flow (sunburst) data visualization

This visualization exposes common (and uncommon) user flows within a certain timeframe.

For example, the radial flow in the image below reveals that 3.1% of users in the last 1000 sessions interacted with a jukebox like this:

money - song - play - song - play - portal - end

##How it works

latest_radial_sequence_data.rb reads data from a project in Keen IO, sorts the data into user flows and publishes a new event collection to a project in Keen IO.

  1. Open settings.yml and specify the project keys, name of the event collection you’re saving to Keen IO, collection_name, and the number of events you’d like to analyze, num_latest_events.
  2. When you’re ready to create a new event collection for user flow data, run this script in terminal ruby latest_radial_sequence_data.rb.
  3. Run this command in terminal python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9000, and then in a browser tab, open http://localhost:9000/dataview/
  4. Type in the name of your event collection (e.g. the collection_name you specified in settings.yml) and hit “Go!”. Your data visualization should appear momentarily.
