Introduction

Web Application Experience Analytics provides critical insights into how employees use web applications.  You'll need to perform two essential configurations: setting up the analytics feature in your HP Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) and deploying its browser extensions to devices to enable this feature and leverage its capabilities.

Workforce Experience Platform browser extensions are available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

This article provides a step-by-step guide for:

  1. Configuring the analytics feature within the WXP platform settings.

  2. Deploying the required HP Workforce Experience Platform browser extensions to employee devices.

Deploy HP Workforce Experience Platform Browser Extensions to Devices

In addition to setting up the WXP platform, you must deploy the HP Workforce Experience Platform browser extensions to devices across your fleet to collect data.

The browser extensions of HP Workforce Experience Platform are available at the following links:

Note: These browser extensions require devices enrolled in the Workforce Experience Platform and are therefore not available through public search.

HP offers these options to deploy the browser extensions.

  1. Add to the force-install list of your browser extension policy

  • Add the following HP Workforce Experience Platform browser extension IDs to the force-install list of your browser extension policy to deploy the extensions. This can be done using management tools like Google Admin console or Microsoft Edge management service.

    • Extension ID for Google Chrome browser: gnbbpfafoelcnpgeiljdeancnfjidghp

    • Extension ID for Microsoft Edge browser: eclicldjmmagglgllemniippocflfkaa

      For more information about using browser management tools, please refer to the following links:

Note: Ensure consistent setup of browser extension policy. Settings at a higher level, like Local Machine, can override those at a lower level, such as Current User, potentially causing the uninstallation of extensions already set at the lower level.

  1. Group Policy (GPO)

  • Using Group Policy (GPO) is another option to deploy extensions on all devices. HP provides a GPO policy file for this setup.

    • Download HP Workforce Experience Platform GPO policy file from Click Here or Download Browser Extension Policy button under HP Insights Windows Application section at http://workforceexperience.hp.com/software

    • Use the ADMX and ADML files in the downloaded policy file for Chrome and Edge browsers.
